Angry Fruit Salad

/aŋ-grē früt sa-ləd/

n. A bad visual-interface design that uses too many colors.

This derives, of course, from the bizarre day-glo colors found in canned fruit salad.

Too often one sees similar affects from interface designers using color window systems such as X; there is a tendency to create displays that are flashy and attention-getting but uncomfortable for long-term use.
