Apparently it's not Gnome 50. It's Loupe. Or more specifically, Loupe forcing "Dark Mode" when I'm in "Light Mode (With CSS Overrides To Replace The Bright White With Mid Grey)".
GTK Inspector seems to indicate that the button is using a semi-transparent background colour (because of course "deal with the interaction between a widget and the colour of the background behind it" is a thing that you'd want to do?!) and so it's not playing nicely with mid-grey.
Looks like I'm spending more time fixing CSS again. Which I needed to do anyway, because Gimp 3 is already doing a whole bunch of janky stuff.
It's not even like I want much. Flat themes are a bit crap and trend-following, but I can live with it. Gnome now has accent colours, which is great. All I want is dark title bars and #cccccc window backgrounds (a bit like when openSUSE had the Sonar theme in 11.4) so that the whole desktop isn't eye-searingly bright (or that odd cream colour that they went through for a while)

Ned Hamson's Second Line View of the News @nedhamsonsecondlineviewofthenews.com@nedhamsonsecondlineviewofthenews.com ·Okinawa 1945 | Pacific Paratrooper
← HERE COMES LUZON, P.I.Okinawa 1945
Posted by GP
B-32 on Okinawa, 12 August 1945
When the fighting on Luzon concluded for the 11th Airborne Division, The Potsdam Conference sat to decide the border lines of Germany and Poland. The atomic bomb also received its final test. The results were sent to Pres. Truman.
Saturday, 11 August 1945, top secret orders were delivered to General Swing for the division to be prepared to move to Okinawa at any time. The division G-3, Colonel Quandt, called Colonel Pearson, “This is an Alert. Have your regiment [187th] ready to move out by air forty-eight hours from now.” Commanders throughout the 11th A/B had their men reassembled, even those on weekend passes had been found and brought back to camp. The lead elements left Luzon immediately. At 0630 hours on the 13th, trucks brought the 187th to Nichols and Nielson Fields for transport and they landed at 1645 hours that afternoon at Naha, Kadena and Yotan Fields on Okinawa. They would remain on the island for two weeks…

@mos_8502 Inspired by your work I made a mockup of what Classic Mac System UI fonts would have looked like if instead of monochrome there was one more shade (here #CCCCCC gray ) for antialiasing — hand drawn pixel art manually for each size / weight.
Just did the “System Folder” window for comparison and left the rest like the original.
Of course it implies a flat color target surface but but that should be the case for most UI elements.

@naipotato Just in general: Respect the user’s choice, don’t mess around with it just because YOU want your website to look a certain way. It’s generally easy too, here is what I use:
@ media (prefers-color-scheme: light) {

background-color: white;
}
blockquote, pre.sourceCode, pre.errors, figure{
background-color: #fbfbfb;

}Also, don’t specify the font if you don’t have to. Browser-fonts are user-configurable, and you should respect your user’s choice there too!
The web isn’t broken by default, only specify what you have too!

Hit Em: A Musical Dream Come True
As Drew Daniel woke from uneasy dreams, he found himself at the center of a new musical micro-genre called “Hit Em”. Drew, an English professor at Hopkins and one half of the band called Matmos, made a viral post on X about a surreal new musical genre:
had a dream I was at a rave talking to a girl and she told me about a genre called “hit em” that is in 5/4 time at 212 bpm with super crunched out sounds thank you dream girl
As the post went viral, musicians from all around the world responded, offering their own perspectives on this niche musical genre.

With all these great tracks getting shared online, Machinedrum announced that he is working with Drew Daniel on a compilation of “Hit Em” tracks that musicians were submitting. But Suitably Bizarre records may have beat the to the punch with “Disposable Heroes of Hit Em“, a totally different compilation of Hit Em tracks that was released on bandcamp this morning.

We’ve discussed AI here several times here on Boles Blogs, and today we’re taking the logical next step into the Uncanny valley by sharing original musical creations and starting our own website radio streaming service using our new songs to accompany our new Boles.radio TLD (Top Level Domain)!
Okay, so now you have your original music published on the major streaming services, like Spotify, but to hear those songs, your listeners need to have an account to access the entire song and not just a 30 second sound snippet.
But what if you want to drill down even more into your songs, and create your own website that will help you stream your music your way?
You have a few choices.
You can go to a website that specializes in helping you create your own radio station where you will have to stream from their proprietary domain. You will have to upload your music, and your storage space is limited. You also will have a limit on how many hours you can stream. The cost for that sort of service is around $150 a month for 10 hours of streaming. Not a great deal, but if you want to do everything live as an old time radio announcer, that’s one way to go.
A second choice you have is to go for an .FM domain name. The “Dot FM” name is popular for some music-related websites, playing off the old “radio” idea of an “FM” radio station. I’m not sure how many folks in the emerging generation even know what “FM” stands for when it comes to terrestrial radio broadcasting (frequency modulation); not that the definition really matters anymore.
An .FM domain will cost you around $100 a year to register. So, for five years, you’re in for $500 in domain registration fees alone. That’s not a terrible deal for a website domain, but knowing that the .FM domain name is really the TLD for the “Federated States of Micronesia” — (not “frequency modulation” at all!) — which is an independent island nation located in the Pacific Ocean — and so you might not really think .FM means really associates “radio” in mind.
However, if you’re old, like me, and you want to try to be a little more traditional with your non-terrestrial web streaming domain for your music, the “.RADIO” domain might just be what fits best with your interest.
Yes, you can get a “Dot Radio” domain for $25 or so a year — if you are an individual with a want to “stream” radio, music, commentary or a podcast. Companies pay about ten times that amount per year for a .Radio domain.
Compared to the .FM domain — at $500 for five years — you can instead get a .RADIO domain for $250 for a 10 year registration; that’s half the cost for twice the time! I’ll go .RADIO all day.
And so I did!
Boles.radio is now live, and streaming my original music, as well as streaming highlights of my Human Meme podcast, along with other great bits of my ancient radio history to come!
Right now, I have started to curate my original SoundCloud music playlists — with my spoken vocal stingers added to my songs stream — to create “channel streams” on Boles.radio based on musical styles, and spoken topics.
Boles.ai · Boles Radio DanceBeing able to control the flow of the Boles.radio experience was important to me. With easily editable SoundCloud playlist streams, I can better form the proactive listener experience moment-to-moment.
Since all my original songs embed the domain name, or project, they are promoting in the lyrics, I am currently creating all new songs just for the Boles.radio streamcasting experience.
I’m currently able to create a new song a day, so in a month or two, Boles.radio will have a good, and deep, visual playlist available for your listening pleasure — a playlist I can always expand, update, edit, or delete as needed.

We’ve discussed AI here several times here on Boles Blogs, and today we’re taking the logical next step into the Uncanny valley by sharing original musical creations and starting our own website radio streaming service using our new songs to accompany our new Boles.radio TLD (Top Level Domain)!
Okay, so now you have your original music published on the major streaming services, like Spotify, but to hear those songs, your listeners need to have an account to access the entire song and not just a 30 second sound snippet.
But what if you want to drill down even more into your songs, and create your own website that will help you stream your music your way?
You have a few choices.
You can go to a website that specializes in helping you create your own radio station where you will have to stream from their proprietary domain. You will have to upload your music, and your storage space is limited. You also will have a limit on how many hours you can stream. The cost for that sort of service is around $150 a month for 10 hours of streaming. Not a great deal, but if you want to do everything live as an old time radio announcer, that’s one way to go.
A second choice you have is to go for an .FM domain name. The “Dot FM” name is popular for some music-related websites, playing off the old “radio” idea of an “FM” radio station. I’m not sure how many folks in the emerging generation even know what “FM” stands for when it comes to terrestrial radio broadcasting (frequency modulation); not that the definition really matters anymore.
An .FM domain will cost you around $100 a year to register. So, for five years, you’re in for $500 in domain registration fees alone. That’s not a terrible deal for a website domain, but knowing that the .FM domain name is really the TLD for the “Federated States of Micronesia” — (not “frequency modulation” at all!) — which is an independent island nation located in the Pacific Ocean — and so you might not really think .FM means really associates “radio” in mind.
However, if you’re old, like me, and you want to try to be a little more traditional with your non-terrestrial web streaming domain for your music, the “.RADIO” domain might just be what fits best with your interest.
Yes, you can get a “Dot Radio” domain for $25 or so a year — if you are an individual with a want to “stream” radio, music, commentary or a podcast. Companies pay about ten times that amount per year for a .Radio domain.
Compared to the .FM domain — at $500 for five years — you can instead get a .RADIO domain for $250 for a 10 year registration; that’s half the cost for twice the time! I’ll go .RADIO all day.
And so I did!
Boles.radio is now live, and streaming my original music, as well as streaming highlights of my Human Meme podcast, along with other great bits of my ancient radio history to come!
Right now, I have started to curate my original SoundCloud music playlists — with my spoken vocal stingers added to my songs stream — to create “channel streams” on Boles.radio based on musical styles, and spoken topics.
