The World Lacks Colour

[kerravonsen]

I hate blood tests. My arm hurts. And I need both arms to do computery stuff.

In other news, why is it that computer application themes (such as GTK+ and Firefox themes) come in only three flavours:
- bland
- garish
- black
Can't someone invent a tasteful, interesting theme that isn't black?

You people were right when you said you'd comment less, weren't you?

I like my fake-wood Firefox theme, and my gray and blue (which I guess might count as "bland") GKrellm theme, but in general I agree with you. (See also: every DeadJournal system style.)

http://www.endersgame.net/~cheyan/screenshots/notquiteright.png has both my Firefox theme and my GKrellm theme in it.

Heh, well, I'm still not comfy with using OpenID all the time, so it makes me more choosy about when I comment/whether I have time.

Sorry about the blood tests! :(

Also: I agree completely about the themes on computery stuff. When I upgraded Firefox recently, I checked out their new themes and was disgusted; I remain a simple gray, which is at least easy on my eyes.

You can't win with tests. All that can happen is they find something wrong.

I found what I thought were some nice, simple Firefox themes (e.g. a pale turquoise one that reminded me of tropical seas) but it was a bit much when I installed it. I'm just using the boring standard one, but that's OK as it's almost invisible.
