Isn't "greys as the base color" what dark mode is for the most part? Light mode is generally off-white and dark mode is grey scaled.


No. You can't do drop shadows in most dark-mode setups, there isn't enough contrast to make it work.

Regarding the BeOS screenshot: mind that this is not regular BeOS, but the OS X-like "Baqua" appearance of the eOS 5.1d0 developer release, which never saw a regular release.

(I'm taking no offence, but it may be important to point out what's what, now that image references are becoming as inevitably as increasingly unreliable, as for "AI".)
