CRT screen effect and the switch-on animation.

Screen effect
How much the store looks like it's on an old monitor.
Off
Clean
Pixel grid (default)
A fine grid, like a screen up close
CRT
Scanlines and an RGB phosphor mask
CRT + flicker and roll
CRT, plus a gentle flicker and a slow rolling band
The effect is never at full strength over product photos: the desktop behind gets the heavy pass, the inside of windows a lighter one. Flicker and roll are switched off automatically for visitors who ask for reduced motion.
Switch-on animation
A CRT powering on — a bright line snaps across a black screen, then opens to reveal the store. Half a second.
Off
Never
Once per visit (default)
The first page someone opens
Every page load
Every time. Gets old quickly once someone is browsing
Skipped for visitors who ask for reduced motion, and never plays in the theme editor.
