I thought it this would be fun everybody. I thought it might be interesting to compare desktop screenshots and see what other SoylentNews user interfaces look like. Tiling window manager or stacking? Desktop environment or not? Are you minimalist? What operating systems are you using?
What about your phone/tablet/phablet?
I'll start: Desktop and Cellular Phone.

How are you viewing Soylent in green? Something seems wrong about that ;)
Ah, yes. The green theme is called "vt100", and you can get it under "Preferences->Homepage" on the left, in the themes menu at the top. As to why I use it, I'm simply a sucker for old looks ;) Well, okay, and my eyes are very light sensitive, so I try to view dark themes where possible. Not a fan of bright white... Amber would be perfect, as that would match my terminal, but I suppose I can't have everything exactly right...

it sounds like something you might find useful to do, anyway, so here's a link to a FF extension which toggles the colours

you can add a keyboard shorcut and toolbar button and take back your internet ;)

i could have sworn you were overriding the page preferences to keep the browsing experience uniform, like i do!

Wow, thank you! As embarrassing as it sounds, I had no idea there was an extension to override page colors. Thanks! I'll look into this, then my desktop life will be complete.
