It doesn't, that's just a feature a lot of desktop and tower cases added at some point, probably for corporate users. But you can just ignore it.
Here's an overview of the A3000 hardware. Full 32-bit bus everywhere, in 1990. It was pretty much a workstation class machine but 10x cheaper than stuff by Sun, DEC, HP, and so on. youtube.com
Here's what the next A3000+ revision was going to be like. Had a DSP on board, which would have been BIG back then. But corporate politics got in the way... bigbookofamigahardware.com

I think it's just almost default fvwm, and you can just pick the colors straight from the image.

Well, it looks like almost default 5Dwm, judging by screenshots from the website so whatever.

How do CRT remember their settings anyway? Do they have some backup battery (like motherboards do for their NVRAM that holds BIOS setup settings) somewhere inside that will eventually run dry and make the monitor unable to remember anything? I seem to have at least once encountered a CRT which would lose all of its settings if left unplugged from mains for some time (also seen stereos with radio tuners which have lost the ability to remember the radio stations they were configured/tuned to).

The explosion of companies taking advantage of GUIs made for some very experimental attempts throughout the 90s. Windows 95 had at least three major revisions to the GUI before RTM.
