DCS SMRT is inspired by the colorway of Wyse thin-client ("dumb") terminals from the 1980s-1990s. These were boards I ran across in various IT temp assignments right out of college at the turn of the millennium, and didn't appreciate at the time that I was tossing them into recycling piles. But DCS, and this colorway, have grown on me, and this run is motivated as much by appreciation as it is nostalgia, and regret for my actions as a 21-year old Y2K refresh temp.
But I don't want SMRT to just look backwards at the past; I want it to be vibrant, alive, and of the present, too. SMRT gives the option to sport a flashier, modern, colorful look, that rearranges the classic Wyse palette and promotes the original accent colors to a starring role. So you can stay mostly grey like the original, or throw in some vivid blue and yellow splashes.
And yes, that peculiar spelling in the name is both a play on WYSE ("wise"... get it?) and a certain animated dad's memeable little jingle. Heh heh. Ahem.
