That wasn't my experience at all. Everyone knew what caused flicker and how to work around it. For example, that's why Workbench 2.0 had a much lower contrast black on grey default color scheme, instead of Workbench 1's more garish white on blue. (Supposedly those were picked to look more readable on cheap monitors.)
- zozbot234 3y agoThe problem with running Workbench in interlaced mode is that it just gave you tiny text and icons: the ROM only had a single bitmap font in 8 and 9 pixel height size, and adding custom fonts to your boot disk would've taken up a whole lot of space. (Similar to running unscaled High-DPI today on systems that weren't designed for it out of the box.)
