I was playing with the Themes today, and noticed that something is off about it. Either my idea of a "Night Shift Theme" is different from the General Monastery public, or I'm color blind, cause I don't think that Green reminds me of Night Time. Just wanted to see if I'm just insane, or if there may be something off..

    I think the "Night Shift Theme" hearkens back to the Good Old Days when your only options for terminal color were green on black or black on black and even then, after a sufficient number of hours (or days) spent hacking away, the contrast had to be adjusted just so you could read the characters on the screen.

      In that case we Need a "Commodore 64" Theme. With the New CSS option I may just write it myself, he he.

    I believe the idea is infrared goggles which are in popular culture viewed as displaying everything in shades of green; I say popular culture because never having used any for all I know they make everything yellow and purple and stamp the word Python everywhere.
