> This reveals a lot about the regression in OSes. Way back in the early '90s, Windows provided a color-scheme editor. Users could set up any color scheme they liked, and all properly-written apps would inherit it and work fine.

Windows has a high-contrast settings, it turns applications and websites to black-on-white, it works reasonably well (I have it being turned on for some days now), although there are menu items and switch states that are not visible :/

Also the default themes all use black text on bright background for selection which is bad. White text on a dark color is much better but you can change that.
