Subject
Lightroom Classic 15.3 does not apply Dark Mode styling to window title bar and chrome on macOS Sequoia
Description of Issue
Lightroom Classic 15.3 on macOS Sequoia 26.4.1 (25E253) does not correctly follow macOS Dark Mode appearance conventions. When macOS Appearance is set to Dark Mode, Lightroom Classic displays a light title bar and light window chrome instead of matching the active system appearance.
This creates a visual inconsistency with native macOS applications and system UI behavior.
