Why are error messages, BIOS Screens etc. often blurry and don’t match the design of the OS?
In: 3
BIOS screens and error messages from hard crashes don’t look like the operating system because they aren’t part of the operating system. The OS just crashed, the error messages are provided by underlying systems that are still functioning or able to pick up the pieces.
They are often “blurry” because they are low resolution. Error messages are designed to be viewed in every situation so they don’t know what your screen is, what resolution it operates at, how to drive it, etc. Instead they default to the lowest, most basic resolution which is usable but not pretty. Too few pixels smeared across a bigger screen looks blurry.
