Re: Science Fiction Interfaces
#2I remember the days when all the flash websites looked like this. With all the pixel fonts of 8 px height.
http://www.2advanced.com/ Was one of my favorites! (I can't even see it now as the flash is blocked by Chrome)
I actually miss that style, good thing it still exists in movies. Oblivion had also very nice GUI's. But Gmunk has a lot of other great work!

#5For someone who wants an in-depth look at sci-fi interfaces from a designer's perspective, https://scifiinterfaces.wordpress.com/ and the corresponding book [1] are pretty good resources. The book was even featured on YC's Winter (Summer?) reading list.

#6Oh hey I run this, originally I was just collecting the fui designs for reference when trying to make my own as a desktop (https://github.com/seenaburns/dex-ui), but since then I've kept it going.
My personal favorite is probably still Oblivion http://www.gmunk.com/OBLIVION-GFX but if these are too over the top science fiction, The Bourne Identity's is pretty fun too http://coleran.com/gallery-category/fui/#the-bourne-identity

I like the style too. I couldn't use the 2advanced site, because, while it loaded after I accepted Flash (Firefox), everything was tiny on my high-resolution screen, and zooming did nothing.

Huh, that's actually what I thought the link was; I'm subscribed to this link, and it's definitely interesting.

#9There's an overarching theme here of thin neon lines and white text on black background. Its interesting to me that despite the popularity of this in movies as the default "futuristic" computer interface, it rarely seems to make its way into actual software and especially web/app UI. One exception i can think of is the Bloomberg terminal.
I find this odd because its easier on the eyes and looks better. I would honestly prefer "night mode" for pretty much all software (ms office, the whole internet, etc). Gmail black theme looks great but the actually emails are still white background / black font...
Im not really a hacker... Does anyone know good "night mode" software or settings? There is one in windows 10 but it only applies to settings windows and not the file browser or much anything else.

I know this doesn't apply to your needs, however OSX/macOS has the ability to "Invert Display Color" and I use it all the time for precisely the use case you described.
