Here is the latest version of my google module: Personalized Home.
This module is aimed at modifying the look of google personalized homepage.
You can change columns spacing, text padding, link color, link style, title font color and title bar color..

You'll need to set it as "Inlined" using the developer module (see below).

I tested the module on Firefox 1.5 and opera, with windowsXP.

Inlining:
As my module modifies the page style, you'll need to set it as Inlined.
To enable inling you must have the developper module installed.
To add it, just type "developer.xml" in the "Create Section" box.
This module will list all the modules you have, with a 'Inlined' and a 'Cached' chekbox.
You can check both for "Personalized Home".

Update
Due to numerous user inputs, the module is regularly updated. To force updating of your module, just untick the 'cached' checkbox. Then tick it back to save my bandwith, thanks.

Due to the limit of 10000 characters applied on google base, the google base mirror is discontinued.

But we have a new mirror on GoogleModules.com:
