Great program. However, for some of us with computer eyestrain to striking bright colors, we would like to see some darker skins made for the interface.

i have the same problem.. the issue is devs who decide to use their own colours instead of following the windows theme colours are ignoring the fact that not all users are blind followers of the theme that comes preconfigured on windows.. in other words, they are telling you: "we're making our own colours which will look perfectly fine if you use windows default theme...if you have some other non-conventional theme with darker or lighter colours and our program looks weird on those themes ..then that's not our problem and go back to using windows default."
there's a much simpler solution than that.. just follow the exact windows api.no one has asked you to be "creative" in making a different theme. this can be acceptable with audio players because they have a totally reskinned interface so whether using windows colours or not is no longer a problem.
i've noticed this annoyance with several programs and ccleaner is one of them, ad-aware is another. if your program uses a lot of buttons or dialogs, do us all a favour and just stick to the user's theme colours.
my theme is classic with darker colours and naturally i've opted for a lighter colour font to stand out on this theme.. but on ccleaner because the devs have decided to make the buttons white and override my theme.. my font almost becomes invisible.
I dont think they are overriding the system theme. The devs chose white buttons (flat) with black text. The alternative would be to use your common grey buttons. With black text.
Since the lime green text appears on the button means that Pirifom is using the system font/color in your theme. What color would you have the buttons? What color are buttons in other applications (using your theme)?
dark grey

CCleaner is a really good program, but I think that any color which makes the backround interface and buttons even slightly darker would be a help to some of us. Lowering the brightness on the monitor is not a solution when you have different people in the same house using the computer, and this would be problematic for programs which already have darker displays. The way it is now to a sensitive-eyed person, it's somewhat like looking directly into the sun without protective glasses. But with CCleaner being free and as good as it is, this is not a complaint, just a gripe. lol. BTW: I didn't use the smileys, too bright.
