White is the New Blue

... For winio screens, that is. It must be an extension of their "make all windows/borders/title-bars white" crusade. Mind you, now it's at least functional as a lamp, when it crashes, which is almost as useful as it is when it doesn't.

"No design" is the new design :doh:
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

They take their cues from Disaster Area: "'It's the wild colour scheme that freaks me out,' said Zaphod, whose love affair with the ship had lasted almost three minutes into the flight. 'Every time you try and operate these weird black controls that are labeled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up black to let you know you've done it.'" --- DNA, The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Monochrome is back. Literally.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

It used to be funny back in the days when he wrote that, but I stopped laughing upon the release of W8, which introduced the flat "design". As long as you have bezels and backkdrops or just about anything that serves as a visible border of an UI component, all is well. But the flat design dumped them. Using identical colors does exacerbate this problem. But with visible borders, it wouldn't be a problem at all.
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

That's a good point. The "
An error has occurred" message might be there, but still in white text.I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
