(This term
|
||
derives, of course, from the bizarre day-glo colors found in canned fruit
|
||
salad.) Too often one sees similar effects from interface designers using
|
||
color window systems such as <a href="../X/X.html"><i class="glossterm">X</i></a>; there is a tendency
|
||
to create displays that are flashy and attention-getting but uncomfortable
|

for long-term use.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="angle-brackets.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../A.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="annoybot.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">angle brackets </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> annoybot</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
