Notes on  ANGRY FRUIT SALAD 

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.
