I made an AwesomeWM theme last month using these. I gave up on it, too hard on the eyes ;)

(code at https://github.com/Elv13/ , but that particular theme isn't pushed yet as it require upstream patches still in the CI)

Try setting the text color to #7fff7f. It makes things a nice phosphor-glow green; this is how I have my xterms set up.

For amber, the X11 color "goldenrod" (#daa520) is near perfect.

I agree goldenrod is just about right. My first monitor was amber-on-black HGA, and setting that color with 9x14 makes me feel nostalgic.

So cool but good Lord that's gotta leave the eyes sore for a while afterward.

Looks really cool! I can see why you don't use it every day though :)

Pretty !

Makes me wanna go to old regional offices in case some of their 80s computer are still in a basement somewhere. Just to run the OS of the day and re-experience fonts, layouts, proportions, dithering-patterns..

Very cool. Looks like it could be used in a movie scene on a hacker's computer.

That's why old programmers wear glasses.
