I've just tried 0.78 on the "Night sky contrast theme" and this is what I get:

Perhaps a /bugreport will help?

Hi there!We need a bit more information to really debug this issue. Can you add a "Report Bug" zip file here? You right click on our system tray icon and just go to report bug. Then drag the zipfile from your desktop onto the GitHub comment box in this issue. Thanks!

I failed to do that. It shows me "Your debug zip file saved to your desktop", but I didn't find it.

However I do found I'm using a sort of customized nightsky contrast theme, with color and wallpaper.
But the default NightSky works fine.
Here's the theme file:
G41 (ブラック).zip

@kiharra77 Would you mind upgrading to 0.78 to see if that resolves the issue?

Yes, it still have the same problem.

Looks like you're getting pretty weird behavior. That does look like the Image Resizer has some bugs that were there some versions before.

Can you try to access the PowerToys.ImageResizer.exe file in your PowerToys installation folder? If you start the executable directly from that path (default machine is "C:\Program Files\PowerToys\PowerToys.ImageResizer.exe") and select a file, does it show the same issue? If you right click and check properties for the file, does it say it is 0.78.0 ?

It doen't changes anything, but I found how to reproduce it manually.

Looks like this strange behaviour caused by a broken theme setup:

First, go to settings and apply a contrast theme

Everything looks fine.

Then go to theme page, change a cursor style, change the wallpaper, and save.

Close and open the settings again, enter theme page and you can now save this contrast theme, save it.

Use Shift + Alt + PrtSc to switch between the normal theme and saved contrast theme,

The Image Resizer window will themed in light mode, even after re-open the image resizer window.

I'm not quite sure if this behaviour is image resizer's bug now... But the image resizer is the only utility in powertoys that themed in light mode in this case.

I can repro this with the provided steps.

Settings, Reg Preview, Host and Environment correctly apply where Image Resizer did not.

I'm on 0.78 as well
