You can add a background image to Google using the following browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Internet Explorer 7.x (Windows XP, Windows Vista)
• Internet Explorer 8.x (Windows XP, Windows Vista)
• Firefox 3.x (Windows XP, Vista, Mac OSX)
• Safari 3 (Mac OSX)
• Safari 4 (Mac OSX)

To get the full functionality of the feature, make sure you have the latest version of your browser and that you have enabled JavaScript.

Kinda Bing-ish, but nice.

 

[shadeslader]

Kinda stupid. No use for it. I like Google for it's plain white BG with that colorful logo that randomly seldomly changes.
