    However, for those that need additional assistance viewing text, adherence to the system's colouration is necessary, else they are totally unable to utilize this. Why not allow it? I see no reason why specifically one module of a few apps should decide that it doesn't want to adhere to any of the global preferences of the OS, dissimilarly to all else.

    Adhere to the colouration of the system.

    Yes, what you have proposed is what I shall initially evaluate. When that is successful, I shall ascertain how much of a real mac I am able to programmatically modify, to either access any included EFI interface, or install one and subsequently access that, if none are available. I expect this to be feasible because ultimately macOS is BSD, which I am able to install utilities that provide this functionality into. And yes, I realize that installation of a new operating-system does not replace the...

    Yeah, I'll try to launch startup manager with what you state, and create some code to install a custom shell if none is available in order to one-click recreate a decent firmware environment.

    Yeah, but I am primarily concerned with macOS rather than Macs. Apologies for the confusion. I suspect that macs shall necessitate some more low-level configuration. Considering that they ultimately contain an EFI, I should be able to install something similar to reFind and programmatically invoke it as https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/711532?answerId=725918022 describes.
