Hi Ganesh, I think the issue is that we changed the default theme from Windows Vista to Fusion. You can change that in Tools > Preferences > User Interface, with the drop-down list under User interface scheme, to restore the previous value of Windows Vista. We made that change because the Fusion theme that Qt provides works with the dark mode on Windows, unlike the Windows Vista theme.
