    Description

      There is a difference in behavior between QML Window and QML ApplicationWindow. While the Window correctly paints the titlebar light/dark according to Windows dark mode setting, the ApplicationWindow always uses the light titlebar.

      See the attached MWE which demonstrates the differences.

      If this is expected behavior, how would I get the QML ApplicationWindow to also use the light/dark mode setting?

      Steps to reproduce:
      1) Start the MWE
      2) Toggle dark mode setting in Windows preferences
      3) The QML Window instance correctly adapts to the setting light/dark
      4) The QML ApplicationWindow always stays light
