Dark Mode for LrC Menus

It would be a very helpful feature to have the option to enable dark mode for the menus in LrC. Currently, from what tech support tells me, there is no option in Preference> Interface to set the mode for the menus. I find there is a glitch, as the menus can be made to go into dark mode (assuming Windows is set to dark mode) by either clicking on the Map module then to the Develop or Library module or by changing the background color then selected Darker Gray or Black. This somehow changes the menus to dark mode.

I discovered in Windows 11, if the Transparency Effects are turned off and then the Map or Book module is selected in LrC, then the Transparency Effects are turned on, dark mode is enabled on the pop-up menus. The workaround may not work the first time, but "fudging" between modules and Windows transparency effects or mode (light to dark) seems to "kick" the LrC menus into dark mode.

Same issue, the white is horrible. Maybe registry hack for LR to us win 11 dark mode?
