   Well, it looks like the classic version of what futuristic would look like anyway. So... therefore modern?

         @ceruleanspark @trister I see! Well, I see literally, but I don't see figuratively. Never did get into Fallout. Cool stylistic choice, though.

               @ceruleanspark I will say the links should be a different color. Or underlined. Or something.

               @ceruleanspark The theme looks more like a pip-boy to me.

                  @anubins It's a bit of both. The pipboy screen doesn't have scanlines.

                     @ceruleanspark Yeah, I wouldn't know, haha. Like I said, never got into it.

      @anubins Well, retro look is in, therefore hot, therefore modern... no wonder windows 8 has thismetro menu ( that looks like AOL from 1996 ) ... but that sort of retro is not good IMHO... THIS what we have here is good retro :3 ... doesnt make much sense right

         @critialcloudkicker So you're saying Metro is a horrible idea, right?

            @redenchilada I am saying that in my oppinion it's a bad system for if you are having a keyboard and a mouse, not to mention that in my oppinion it is a BAD example of retro, since what ? 80%+ does not like it ?

         @critialcloudkicker Metro looks great! It's the whole tablet arrangement with clickable app boxes that doesn't.

            @anubins Isnt that like saying "I really love your mane but I dislike your hair" ?

               @critialcloudkicker Nah, nooo. There were a few Windows 8 style themes for 7, where it uses the metro colours and lineless style as a stylistic choice for 7. 8's tablet stuff just doesn't work it for me.

                  @anubins Same... I just do not like the metro because it would be a downgrade for people like me ( more eyecandy, less productivity )

                     @critialcloudkicker TL;DR, the visual elements of it are fine. The way they're utilising it with the app boxes isn't.

      @anubins I believe "retro-futuristic" is the term.

         @scribus Eh, semantics.
