Description
### Microsoft PowerToys version
0.100.0
### Installation method
PowerToys auto-update
### Area(s) with issue?
General
### Steps to reproduce
I've also had this issue before the update, think I was on 0.97.x then. When I change the theme to dark theme, the theme only changes for the powertoys main window, but not for small popups like the quick access flyout or the FancyZones editor. They all stay in light theme, no matter whether I set to dark or follow system theme.
### ✔️ Expected Behavior
The theme set in General section applies to every window or popup from PowerToys.
### ❌ Actual Behavior
The theme set in General section only applies to the main window.
