Any chances of this happening?  How hard would this be to implement?

Where? In the PJ gallery, you mean? I guess it would be possible with a semi-transparent PNG image overlayed on the gallery piece.

Yeah, but you'd need to have a little blur too to properly emulate low-res CRT display.  I don't think you could do that with an overlay.  The site Lemon Amiga has a pretty good scanlines filter option.

Looks like the blur on that site is caused by the browser filtering the image. Same thing happens here when you zoom in on an image.

I prefer crisp pixels, but I suppose this would look pretty neat on mockups. We'll consider it for the next big version of PJ :)

It certainly is making the dither transparency look better in that screenshot.

I done it several times in MS Paint by combining two images at 2x with different scanlines (upper or 1 pixel lower) deleted one of which pictures differs in brightness. No blur, though.
