      Why is this like… Kind of ok looking? Is it just the old school look causing nostalgia? Surely right? I can’t actually be thinking that’s an okay color scheme

      Great contrast at least… Not super harsh like the standard light themes

        put this image on a big monitor and stare at it for 30 seconds, then look anywhere else

          Actually doesn’t do the thing for me. I know the optical illusion you’re going for but this color scheme doesn’t trigger it in my brain for some reason. I kind of hate that lmao

            woah what

            it’s not even the brain that does it, it’s the color receptors getting tired because of the bright colors and when you look at something white it seems less red, and thus blue

            maybe your monitor isn’t very bright, or maybe because of the yellow it lets the color receptors rest for long enough to keep working properly

              Interesting. I think you’re right about it being the monitor, I keep my brightness pretty low because I’m quite photosensitive

        Yeah. If the whole heating the planet to exterminate all humans gets revealed to be an alien attack on us, I’ll be angry.

        But if the aliens simply share a screenshot of Hotdog desktop theme, in explanation of their actions… I’ll probably just nod.
