This is due to problem https://github.com/Automattic/simplenote-electron/issues/1036, but I'm also talking about a pop-up window, and it has been a year already, and in applications such as Spotify, Discord, GitHub Desktop, Visual Studio Code, the menu bar, title bar and pop-up windows are dark.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Windows 10 through Preferences > Display > Theme, then inspect the Electron menu, title-bar, and pop-up window theme handling. Done means the menu bar, title bar, and File/Edit pop-up menus use dark backgrounds when the Dark theme is selected, without regressing the light theme.
