<abuse> A bad visual-interface design that uses too many
colours. (This term derives, of course, from the bizarre
day-glo colours found in canned fruit salad). Too often one
sees similar effects from interface designers using colour
window systems such as X; there is a tendency to create
displays that are flashy and attention-getting but
uncomfortable for long-term use.
