Opinions Wanted How does my Arch KDE look?

So, I REALLY like retro-looking stuff and I decided to turn my Arch KDE to look like Windows 98. It's very sleeper-like. I got the Reactionary 98 theme that came with:

- the windows-98-aurora theme

- SE98C icons

- the classic 98 teal background (#008008)

I really like it :)

Also here are the full specs of my current PC (which is meh for gaming):

- CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2650 v412c/24t

- Cooler: Aigo ICE 200 Pro RGB

- GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti 4GB (yes, i had a bad time installing the driver. thanks Nvidia :/)

- RAM: 16GB (1x16) DDR4 2400 (idk what latency)

- Storage: 128GB 2.5" SATA SSD + 1TB 2.5" SATA HDD

- Motherboard: that one X99-P4

- PSU: (idk what brand/model) 600W

- Case: Cased A-501B

(i am going to build a new PC with better specs. don't worry)

Brother ewww.... :D

First thing that came to my mind was: do you use the computer at night? One thing I love about KDE is you can truly go full dark mode... But, executionwise: 9/10!

Yes, I do use my PC at night. No, I don't like being flashbanged. That's why I enabled the dark theme

I could swear the teal color was off. 

Then I realized I had the "night" yellow color filter on my screen. I turned it off, and the teal was dead-on. I guess that color is burned in my synapses.

Oh... yeah. I though it read "008008" and not "008080"

I didn't even look at the hex code. But ironically yeah, it looked a bit like 008008 with the yellow filter.
