Accessibility issue: Workstation 16 doesn't render title bar correctly in dark mode

Currently, the title bar background color doesn't reflect whether VMware Workstation is the active window in dark mode:

It's hard to tell whether keyboard input will be reaching the Workstation application or any other app on the host.

 

This chimes in with

 

Please increase accessibility of VMware Workstation by fixing these issues.

Not sure, whether this has been "fixed" by vmware already.

But accessibility is not only about color, also the size of the window title bar is wrong. The older I get, the more issues I have with everything minimized. VMware Workstation should behave like any other standard windows application and consider my Windows settings and not introduce own ones.
