So far I love my BB, including the very straightforward UI, though sometimes I feel a bit bored about the lack of colors and the 8-bit style font. It's high contrast type of UI may also cause fatigue I believe.
I know it's part of the spirit of the modular world from where the BB has its origins (bitbox/toolbox etc), but in contrary to a modular setup, we will tend to spend more time on the BBs screen as it has less unitary functionality and plays standalone too.
For those who've been kids in the 80s, the current colour scheme reminds me a lot a DOS game by IBM called Alley Cat (see picture), not sure it was intended though

I was thinking more color-coding "à la TE Op-1", a bit of colour around the interface and a smoother font would make the BB more plaisant to use.
Of course, if that means more CPU usage and having to forget other functionality, you can just confirm that and ignore my request. I prefer the functionality over graphics. But at least, I believe some minimal color coding that includes more colours than the current two (Purple and Blue) shouldn't be too much resource hungry.
