### Workaround
I've implemented an option in the preferences as a workaround for that bug. It's called "Force use of the legacy dark palette" & can be found in the "GUI" page of the preferences.
I've implemented three major changes in order to combat this:
Download & install the latest [continuous build](https://mkvtoolnix.download/windows/continuous/64-bit/76.0/). Starting with revision 015 they contain the workaround. Then go to the preferences & enable the option mentioned above. Finally restart the GUI.
1. MKVToolNix itself will now always generate a light or dark palette instead of relying on Qt to do so.
2. I've added an option in the preferences on the "GUI" page that allows the user to chose between always using a light palette, always using a dark palette & following the system settings. The latter will hopefully be more compatible than what Qt currently does.
3. The palettes will not only be used on Windows 11, but on Windows 10 as well, improving upon the old custom dark palette used there.
Download & install the latest [continuous build](https://mkvtoolnix.download/windows/continuous/64-bit/76.0/). Starting with revision 021 they contain the fixes.
