Perhaps, due to my age, there are few really sexy things around, anymore.

Looking at your desktops, my vision starts blurring even more than it usually does, and my earlobes start to tremble.

Of course, personal taste is always something to discuss. Definitely, at all times!

…but not ‘Good Taste’ !

That’s sad. Really sad. Feeling sorry for you.

Well, I really love bright themes and hate when pictures, photos or computer games are too white or too grey instead of using more natural colors. In my opinion, the best tool that was ever developed for games, for example, is ReShade (but only after nude mods, of course - they are out of competition). ReShade can fix almost any picture, no matter how bad it was originally, by just working with colors and various post-processing techniques. It is capable to make even ugly-pictured game really beautiful piece of art.

What is true, however, it’s that modern IPS monitors can be really painful in terms of looking at white color & too light themes. It is the reason why I generally prefer dark themes and also why I use my monitor not at it’s full brightness and saturation. Sometimes it’s hard to set up your screen in a way when at the same time the picture is colorful and your eyes not dying when looking at any piece of white light. One more thing in which I can agree with you: I don’t like blur effects too, though some not very crisp pictures just need them anyway.

All my wallpapers are slightly edited by me to add a bit more contrast and get rid of “too grey” effect which I don’t like at all. Besides, my laptop is very old, and it’s screen is not very bright, so even edited pictures looks like normal on it. My desktop’s screen is bright, and I enjoy it.

Come on, guys. World is bright, and so my desktop should be.
Better then complaining about old man’s troubles, show me what styles do you like, what things still give you inspiration. It’s more then possible that I’ll like it too, since I like many things :slight_smile:

think my need little more colour :thinking: :innocent:

So, needless to say, the correct answer for all things theming. . . we really just want our monitors to appear to be off. . . but not to be off.

Well, for me, I like it to appear like it’s off, but with a clock running. I use that clock a lot.

That would look very appropriate on, say, a Minix or Plan9 installation. :+1:

I feel like my screen is so busy comparatively with how much I have on my panel. I’ve got like 400% more stuff on my screen. Plus the fedora logo - which is actually an extension I can turn on and off. Available in white grey or blue. It’s probably too much, but I’m not one to skimp out.

Your screen isn’t even real black, it’s like a dark charcoal.

You aren’t a true black-screener. Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries.
