Thus, it'd be great if you too start providing SSheets for GMonkey too. By the way, can I dare ask how you managed to get your hands on the official Orkut CSS files? ;-) @ orkutplus.org

If you run the scripts, 1 - all your friends will receive a scrap from you advertising that community without you knowing. To be exact, this text "HEY..NEW IPL THEMES Released...! Its Simple To do This... Check this Community Description and enjoy - image hyper lined to community event link" 2 - you will automatically join these communities (community id's) - 51874190,1463753,47266368,1492790,51873778,6854797,45971878,30329258,3465551,47321972,3465551 Damn! I hope this helped. Just couldn't resist seeing the dangerous script. @harshil – here is a security tip

the page on orkut you linked which claims to offer you orkut themes actually is a worm of sorts. If you run the scripts,

1 – all your friends will receive a scrap from you advertising that community without you knowing. To be exact, this text

“HEY..NEW IPL THEMES Released…! Its Simple To do This… Check this Community Description and enjoy – image hyper lined to community event link”

2 – you will automatically join these communities (community id’s) – 51874190,1463753,47266368,1492790,51873778,6854797,45971878,30329258,3465551,47321972,3465551

For instance http://img3.orkut.com/skins/gen/beach001.css http://img3.orkut.com/skins/gen/country_side001.css http://img2.orkut.com/skins/gen/seasonal001.css Thus, we have provided these themes which exactly you'll enjoy once the feature updates in your respective profiles. From various comments i received, I never knew stylish had a greater following as compared to greasemonkey. I'll definitely have alternate links for stylish next time on. Cheers! @shayon – if you check out the script source you’ll realize we have used the cascading style sheets (css) uploaded by orkut itself.

For instance

http://img3.orkut.com/skins/gen/beach001.css http://img3.orkut.com/skins/gen/country_side001.css http://img2.orkut.com/skins/gen/seasonal001.css

Must give it to you, your themes look pretty neat. Being on similar lines, one can also incorporate Orkut themes on Firefox by installing the <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108" rel="nofollow">Stylish plugin</a> and then installing <a href="http://userstyles.org/styles/search/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.orkut.co.in%2FHome.aspx" rel="nofollow">these scripts for the same. @ orkutplus.org

On the contrary, "chirkut" (orkut, of course) is almost a household term, these days. So, it does make sense for the Orkut team to come up with pre-designed theme. But, I guess, custom themes are also not far away. Why do I have a feeling that one day Orkut is going to go the Hi5 way? Hi5 used to be a lovely networking site a few years back. Then they started jam packing the site with custom themes and dynamic backgrounds and what not. Look at Hi5 and most of it's user profiles now. I'm sure you won't feel like giving it a second visit.
