Description
I am using light-mode appearance in system settings, so system menus and dropdown menus are in light theme. However, the dropdown menus have a very dark background color upon mouse over.
- OS: macOS Tahoe 26.6
- Racket: 9.3.0.2
- GUI Lib: racket/gui@f534929f1f77e7b49
On the left: the dropdown menu uses a dark background on mouse over. The same GUI component is also used elsewhere in, e.g., "Submodules to Run" in language settings and "Determine language from source" at the bottom.
On the right: plugin buttons have lighter background which would not make the labels invisible.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the dropdown hover behavior in DrRacket using macOS light mode and the reported Racket 9.3.0.2 and racket/gui version. Compare the affected dropdown menus with the lighter plugin buttons, and consider the issue done when the hover background remains readable and consistent with the light appearance.
