Because you imagine that software developers should not consider
the possibility of white text on a black background?
After doublechecking, I think the only color compliance problem
with SpeedFan is with the display of some buttons.

White text on a black background is more than just a theme... the
idea of reading black text on a bright white background no doubt
came from the age old practice of reading black text on a white
piece of paper. But there is a real difference between the two.
With paper, you are looking at reflected light. With a monitor,
you are looking directly at a light source. Black text on a white
background is like reading on the surface of a lightbulb. From
that comparison, one can imagine that it is unhealthy. There have
been many examples throughout human history when only after
decades we realize that something we considered normal is in fact
hazardous to our health.
