Description
New GUI doesn't respect theme, when using Yaru Dark
How, and what happened?
1. set yaru dark theme on Ubuntu
2. use the new GUI for Multipass
**Expected behavior**
It should have respected the Yaru Dark Theme, however it doesn't and the main part of the window has a white background.
**Logs**
Can't see anything on the logs by running: "journalctl --unit 'snap.multipass*'" as sugest on the documentation, so if there's another log that is relevant please ask me for it
**Additional info**
- OS: Ubuntu 24.04
- I'm running multipass 1.14.0
**Additional context**
This is a screenshot of the app as rendered to me:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Ubuntu 24.04 with Yaru Dark and the new Multipass GUI, using the reported steps; the issue names no source files or tests. Trace the GUI's theme handling and verify that the main window uses the dark theme instead of a white background.
