#  "$HOME/shaders/slang-shaders/crt/newpixie-crt.slangp" # FUN! But a little dark and blurry, and too much ghosting. Good on low DPI.
#  "$HOME/shaders/slang-shaders/crt/crtglow_lanczos.slangp" # TOO BRIGHT! My eyes, they burn!
#  "$HOME/shaders/slang-shaders/crt/crt-simple.slangp" # too blurry
#  "$HOME/shaders/slang-shaders/crt/crt-consumer.slangp" # OK - mostly just applies curvature without the CRT grain look
#  "$HOME/shaders/slang-shaders/crt/crt-lottes.slangp" # FUN! And works well on low DPI
#  "$HOME/shaders/slang-shaders/crt/crt-lottes-multipass.slangp" # ALSO FUN! And works well on low DPI
#  "$HOME/shaders/slang-shaders/crt/crt-easymode-halation.slangp" # OK
#  "$HOME/shaders/slang-shaders/crt/crt-royale.slangp" # AWESOME, but resource intensive
#  "$HOME/shaders/slang-shaders/crt/crt-royale-intel.slangp" # Also AWESOME! But doesn't work well on low rez / low DPI

  # ==== Favorites =====
  "$HOME/shaders/slang-shaders/crt/crt-frutbunn.slangp" # A little dark, but otherwise pretty good. No ghosting and works well on low DPI.
#  "$HOME/shaders/slang-shaders/crt/newpixie-mini.slangp" # FUN! Very similar to newpixie-crt.slangp, but without the ghosting as things move, and a darker look. Still suffers from blur though. Works well on low DPI
