I present you: a dark theme for the 7-segment LEDs.

Public

@nina_kali_nina Hahah, this is fucking with my brain way too much 😅

Public

@nina_kali_nina thanks, I hate it

Quiet public
Quiet public

@nina_kali_nina this is absolutely awful, i love it

Quiet public

@nina_kali_nina dunno if it's meant as a joke or not but i can see this getting popular

Quiet public

@evv42 I have noticed this in Kin-Iro Mosaic and got confused for a moment. Then I just had to bring this to the logical finale

Quiet public

@nina_kali_nina
Somehow this works better than your original image
@evv42

Quiet public

@empathicqubit @evv42 because mine is a shitpost:3

Public

@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt wait if the letters themselves are dark and the non-letter background is bright then wouldn't this be a light theme?

Public

@evening which one drives more current?

Quiet public

@nina_kali_nina @evening Flip between light and dark modes to use the least amount of energy, worst of both worlds!

Quiet public

@nina_kali_nina that's an implementation detail
@evening

@nina_kali_nina ahhhh, it reminds me of the Ghost in the Machine album cover, and now I'm trying real hard to keep The Police out of my head.

Quiet public

@nina_kali_nina cursed and cool as fuck at the same time 👍

@nina_kali_nina I've seen a 7-segment B&W LCD clock do this, it was actually readable.

Quiet public

@nina_kali_nina wow this one is hard…

Quiet public

@nina_kali_nina at school someone had a calculator where you could flip the lcd segment panel to get reverse display (clear numbers on black background)

Public

@nina_kali_nina Cursed, unfollow.

(I laughed)

Public

@nina_kali_nina This gives me flashbacks to the many displays I broke as a kid.

Public

@nina_kali_nina must resist urge to rotate my screen.

(as in: you get exactly this resuly on some old (way too) cheap LCD with very bad viewing angles).

Public

@nina_kali_nina

Just because you CAN...

Quiet public

@nina_kali_nina finally, a dark mode I hate =P

Public

@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt a special kind of psychological torture, thankyou

Public

@nina_kali_nina

I'm still mad about this 5 min later.

Public
@futurebird @nina_kali_nina how could you tell it was 5 minutes though?

@nina_kali_nina

7 segment ROT13 encryption

@nina_kali_nina

This is the kind of thing I expect out of a difficult escape room...

Like, somewhere in this room is a transparency or three that will fill in the missing lit lines to produce a code... and I'd waste 45 minutes before even considering that the answer is right there...

I need to remember this, for later...

Quiet public

@nina_kali_nina ...why

my brain is frying from trying to read it

Quiet public

@nina_kali_nina
From the minds of the MS UX team: even less contrast!

Public

@nina_kali_nina Showed this to my other half.

@Clara1337: "I hate that."

Public

@nina_kali_nina Oh a 14 segment theme would be soooo cool.

Quiet public

@nina_kali_nina ah ah very funny… and hard to read! (for me)

Public

@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt I don't know If I love it or hate it.
I am just sitting here doing the
:cinnamontoastwtf:

Public

@nina_kali_nina this is something an escape room puzzle would do

Public
@nina_kali_nina this is so cursed, I love it
Public

@nina_kali_nina I contend that this is a light theme

Public

@nina_kali_nina Thanks for the ALT text, I didn't get it. 😂

Public
Public
@nina_kali_nina honestly had no idea what was going on until i read the alt text 💀
Public

@silverfish works best animated, sorry :(

Public

@nina_kali_nina what no
no no no

Public

@SebastianGallehr thanks! I haven't revisited those in a long time, maybe they need an update :)

Quiet public

@nina_kali_nina
Absolutely cursed.
