Windows XP:

I would argue the Windows 95 one is scarier, because it's basically the same thing, right? it just dims the whole screen?

BUT NO! Windows 95 doesn't know that it's running at high enough color depth to even DO that, and calculating that would be slow anyway, this is an OS that can run on a 25mhz 486. So it cheats.

It's "screendoor transparency". It's a checkerboard of black squares. It's relying on the human eye to see that as dimming and not a grid. And it works! mostly. Especially on a relatively blurry CRT, since you wouldn't really have an LCD in 1995.

But it really messes up with text. Thin pixel fonts were all the rage on windows 95, which had a default resolution of 640x480. And a pixel font + a checkerboard grid?

The text bleeds. It becomes a blurred mess of difficult to read random pixels. On a nice photo background, it's just dimmed. On text, it feels like you're losing your mind and your literacy. Your ability to read is going away.

And Windows 95 just wants to know...

The thought of this spontaneously appearing on a computer screen in my bedroom in the middle of the night was horrifying.
