PR #4416 introduced detection of Window's light/dark themes, adjusting the menu bar accordingly. However, it does not appear that the setting seems to be detected appropriately at startup.
Screenshot of registry settings
Note: changing the theme after Second Life is running results in the menu bar updating as expected.
Reproduction steps
Given: Running Windows 11 with a dark theme
- Run Second Life
Expected: Menu bar uses dark theme
Actual: Menu bar uses light theme
