I vote for 'pipes 2', good contrast setting and nice graphics

Console1, easy on the eye...The pipes are way to much visible.. Makes reading the text difficult.

Console1 indeed; still shows the openMSX logo while not being distracting (Pipesx)

Console 1 is fine, but Console 2 is even better, as the logo is almost hidden.
People who uses console need to work and to read the text...

no.1

3 is very distracting which makes it appearing a bit non-prof. (let's say: profs know that less=more)

All of them are ugly. Please keep the current console background it's just fine.
Or alternatively just a non-gradient gray overlay.
