I don't see where it says that.

Regardless, is that forcing an inverse color scheme on someone supposed to prove something valuable?

It's just an ability to annoy people. I also had another one where you can rick roll them in the background :)

Ha, OK. I've been annoyed enough through what I will call the Color-Scheme Stupidity years, between the time that Microsoft removed the color-scheme editor from Windows and everyone finally realized that reading black text on the surface of a light bulb all day is stupid.

They had it right in the '80s (except the Mac): white text on a dark-blue background FTW. And through the '90s and probably into the 2000s, Word even had a specific checkbox option for this scheme: "Blue background, white text."
