Description
Benefits:
- Minimizes the effects on the screen from glare (caused by sun; bright lights; etc.)
- Is less distracting, jarring for users whose desktop/other applications default to dark on light.
- Peer-reviewed studies confirm the dark text on a light background is optimal for legibility/readability.
Alternatively: let user explicitly specify which foreground, background color they want to use for the UI chrome and contents.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating fman's UI rendering and color or theme configuration, then clarify whether a light theme or explicit foreground and background settings are required. Done means the selected UI colors are applied consistently and the behavior is covered by the project's available checks.
