Windows Terminal version

1.16.10261.09

Windows build number

10.0.22621.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Change settings in Terminal to Use Windows Theme
Set Windows to have WIndows Mode as Dark and App Mode as Light
Glare at tab background colour in disgust

Expected Behavior

In mixed dark/light other apps, such as Edge and Explorer, use the app colour for the tab background, I would expect Terminal to do the same, rather than end up with a dark tab background

Actual Behavior

The tab background is always dark.
