Game window border is always dark

Likely caused by an incorrect fix to MCPE-227846.

Strangely, when I was first testing the fix of MCPE-227846 in the 1.21.130.26 Preview to confirm that the issue was actually resolved, one of my tests was to repeatedly change the system theme in Windows 11 while the game was actively running and I did not encounter this issue.

Are you sure that you’re not using a Custom color theme (not exclusively Dark mode or exclusively Light mode)? For example, your default app mode couple be set to “Dark” while the default Windows mode is set to “Light”. Right now, I can’t confirm because the attached screenshot is not translated to English, and I can’t access my game at the moment to try reproducing the issue again, but I really don’t want to see a regression of MCPE-227846, my post, considering all the incomplete fixes being shipped out in recent times.

@X1Crafts I have both system and app mode set to light. Tried to change the theme while in game, the border remains dark. Maybe it happens only for certain Windows versions (mine’s 25H2, latest release)

After testing I can confirm. The Minecraft Launcher has the same issue, but because it has no real dark mode, it isn’t that big of a deal.
