   Users choose their color schemes in Windows because, well, that is what they   
   want to see. You may not like the colors they selected, but so what, it is   
   their computer and they are entitled to set it up as they like. Your trying   
   to impose your own sense on what they should see by overriding the user's   
   settings is considered rude. You should adapt your program to work with the   
   user's Window settings, not the other way around.
