angry fruit salad n.
A bad visual-interface design that
uses too many colors. (This term derives, of course, from the
bizarre day-glo colors found in canned fruit salad.) Too often one
sees similar effects 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.
