I am started working on my operating system about 6 years ago, and after many attempts and many rewrites I finally come to design that I think I will stick with. So I decided to announce my project here.

BleskOS is 32-bit operating system written from scratch. One of main features is alternative graphic user interface that do not use windows, as classic operating systems do, but switches between programs on full screen. BleskOS is designed for older computers. Operating systems of today have very high hardware requirements that make computers even 10 years old completely unusable. Goal of BleskOS is to provide system, that could be installed on such computers and make them usable again.

Filesystems: FAT12/16/32, ext2 (read-only), ISO9660 (read-only)
USB controllers: UHCI, OHCI, EHCI
USB devices: USB mouse, USB keyboard, USB mass storage device
Ethernet cards: Realtek 8139/8169, Intel e1000(e), AMD PC-net

Maybe he means go to a color picker website or app and choose better colors for the display.

Even though I think the colors ur using are fine and you should be proud!

Translates to: "The color offends me, for I am easily offended"

This is how Google translates from my idiomatic Belarusian. Okay if it sounds funny.

It doesn't sound funny, it sounds entitled. You demand someone else use "better" colors and the only indication you give as to what metric you use to judge colors is the name of a company that will not sell you software anymore, merely rent it. Nor have you given any indication as to why anyone, let alone the OP, should do what you ask.

Okay, I’ll write in more detail, as I was taught at university. Enter adobe color in any search engine (I recommend duckduckgo), the first link takes you to a site with a choice of colors. Choose a harmony like triad, set your main color on the left in hex rgb format. For my favorite color ms-dos #0000FF, I got 4 colors that match it #62DB3D, #DB733D, #866452, #48485C (in the c code the format will most likely be bgr, like 0x5C4848). The colors are ordered by amount of use on the page from most to least common. You can try to recolor the dos program with these colors yourself and make sure that such combinations are pleasing to the eyes. Having this knowledge is enough to avoid hiring a ui/ux designer and drawing beautiful interfaces. By the way, it is best to draw in figma (enter it in a search engine).

Thank you for your idea, however I am using colors that are pleasing to my eyes(and I hope also for others), so I won't change them.
