Setting each application with different system colors
I wouldn't bother. I see two issues here:
1) User silliness: If the users are so fanciful as to make their
colors black on black, for instance, too bad for them. If all software
developpers went that far in anticipating stupidity, Windows probably
wouldn't allow customization, and every other application would impose
it's own 'reasonable' colors. It is not the case, and most users know
when to stop.
2) Programmer control and power: what colors would YOU pick as being
the correct ones? Back in the good old days of non-customizable DOS
applications, if the programmer liked green, you were stuck with it. I
say no! Trust the user on this one.
