Losing iG means losing Tea House :(   - Lloyd Berg - May 25, 2013 - Report this comment

It is true, I use iG every day - it is the centerpiece of my browser. Now I understand that many of the tools I use in iG can be replaced or even improved in one way or another. But one thing that will simply vanish is this wonderful page theme for iG. Tea House was not only wonderful for how friendly it was, but also innovative - the scenes changed with your local time. Such a simple thing, really, but comforting and wonderful in its simplicity. If I can keep just one thing from iG, it would be the Tea House. Please consider converting it for Chrome.

It is such a sweet and comforting way to begin my computer session. When I boot up I wonder what my little fox friend will be doing. Please bring it to Google Chrome.

Please bring Tea House and the little fox to Google Chrome. It's such an endearing theme. Please, please don't let it go away.

iGoogle will be disappearing in a few short months, and with it this lovely theme. Please, please bring it over to the Google chrome themes.

Yippee ~ Got the old Teahouse back!   - Jackie H - Feb 1, 2013 - Report this comment

As per instructions from Patricia Baughman - Nov 3, 2012 and candicus@hotmail.com - Nov 20, 2012: I typed in http://www.google.com/ig?aig=0 which took me to the old tea house. Then I copied that web address and dragged it to the house icon in the Navigation Toolbar. I got a pop-up asking if I wanted this to be my homepage. Clicked yes, and now I have the old tea house again! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I am not very savvy with the computer, but it was easy and it worked!! I'm VERY HAPPY :-)

I have used the tea house theme for years, but it was a banner at the top of my home page. Now it is wallpaper under my gadgets. How can I change it back to a banner so I can see it??? Thanks

Well, just went to my homepage and the old Teahouse is gone again. Had a feeling, when I saw it yesterday, that it was too good to be true. What the #*@% is going on with Google? Grrrr!

HOORAY!! It's back!!  Jackie H - Dec 11, 2012 - Report this comment

Just logged onto my homepage and found the old Teahouse theme back. HOORAY! FANTASTIC! We did it. We never stopped hoping... we never stopped complaining... we never stopped trying... And it worked! They finally listened and gave us it back. I am soooo happy! (Sure hope it's still there tomorrow) :-)

Thanks Patricia!  Karman Morey - Dec 3, 2012 - Report this comment

To you Patricia Baughman I will always be grateful. I do not have the words to properly thank you for your information leading to the revival of all my friends. Tea House, Aja Tiger, JR, Autumn Spring Scape, Beach, Bus Stop,Winter Village, and Happy Holiday. On my Firefox browser it worked just as you said. On Internet Explorer you cannot drag the icon to the home one. I have to replace the igoogle address each time I change themes or close it down. I can once again share my work and my meals with my friends. Kudos to you Patricia :)

I followed Patricia's instructions (thank you, btw!): typed in http://www.google.com/ig?aig=0 which took me to the old tea house. Then I copied that web address and dragged it to the house icon in the Navigation Toolbar. I got a pop-up asking if I wanted this to be my homepage. Clicked yes, and now I have the old tea house again!

anybody else see a turtle to the left of the bird bath, in front of the right side of the garden area? can't remember what time of day it was...

the new scenery is pretty, but I dont like that it takes up whole page, you cant see any detail of what foxy is doing. Google is messing up themes!!!!!!
