This reminds me of GRUB's "dark" theme which I discovered by accident,
playing around with the installer's advanced options. Forgot which one
but the GRUB theme itself is pretty simple

- black background
- white text
- yellow text for the current selection

I actually liked that better than the default blue/grey/white. Maybe
the Devuan installer should use it ...

About not being able to change what you can't read, a screenreader might
be able to solve that but I don't think it's something seeing folks
would be comfortable using, let alone set up when cannot even see what
you're doing ;-)

Hmm, I should take another look at screenreaders. They might help me
read Japanese a bit more easily. I can see it alright but sometimes I
just don't know how to read (pronounce) characters. Hearing it might
help prevent a trip to the dictionary ...

Hope this helps,
