I would say that having a background similar to Debian default would make a little bit less obvious to someone in the room Tails is running, but then comes the Windows 8 camo.

But still the present blue background is too shiny too me and kind of hurt my eyes, which is no security issue but kind of UX.

I don’t want to see you hurt. May you please try making the background color a bit darker until the point when it is harmless for you? (Oh well, as harmless as using computers can be.)

Well, I’ll try to figure it out precisely, but then I find it easier to pick same as Debian default. Wondering if it would be kind of confusing for user used to Debian.

Debian default background has the Debian swirl, and we’re not Debian, so I don’t think that’s a good idea. We could use the main color as background instead of the blue, though.

The decision is: “We agreed on trying to reduce the brightness and
saturation of the current background to be less hurting to the eyes.
While keeping the same blue color.”
