Who designed it, and where does he live? >:P
Seriously, what is the purpose of it? For use on geocities? Does anyone actually use it?

I believe it's a tribute to Windows 3.1's "Hotdog Stand" theme

5Why does everyone seem to hate Comic Sans? It's just a font.– WelbogCommented Nov 13, 2009 at 19:28

1@Adam, you get the +1 just for doing that. :) In fact, you have quite literally made my day with that edit. Commented Nov 13, 2009 at 21:04

1@Adam That's really crude. Why don't you use Comic Sans MS to type XKCD with? Commented Mar 19, 2011 at 0:58
Why hate the hotdog? It's a beautiful colour scheme. I really like the subtle balance between the yellows and reds. It reminds me of walking through an orchard on a warm summers day with a slight floral aroma hanging in the air. Hand in hand with a lover, gazing into each others eyes, laughing, oh how we laughed as we rolled down a grassy hillock in the meadow!
But seriously, I imagine it's a high contrast scheme designed for the visually impaired maybe?

Hmmm, what web site would only have visually impaired visitors, to make using that theme suitable for a flair?– ArjanCommented Feb 21, 2011 at 10:21

@Arjan I think the original windows theme might have been for the visually impaired, the SO one is just in memory of that theme maybe!– TomCommented Feb 21, 2011 at 10:32
