That yellow thing, it’s the sun. Be careful looking at it. ---

It’s pink for me (if you are alluding to the border color), but I thought it was issues with the backup monitor I am now using (after the new one died), since other sites and apps are also pink. ---

It’s probably the green signal that’s not working (VGA has red green and blue signals, and pink generally means the green has gone south). Check for a bent pin in your connector and make sure that the connector is making good contact with all of its pins. It also could be something inside the monitor that’s busted. ---

I have considered changing the text highlight color to a golden yellow color just for fun. For some reason, I really like that color now\*\* #ffcc33\*\* ---
