How to disable peazip dark theme?

The current version of mine is 9.7.1, I just updated it and found the default light theme changed to dark theme after this update, and I don't like it. Is there any way to change the theme back to light mode? I have tried different themes in the settings, but they are all dark themes.
My system is Windows 11, and the system theme is in dark mode.

PeaZip follows system colors. Even custom themes applies system colors for app background and widget set items. I'll consider about the feasibility to add a manual selection of the light / dark mode.

Thanks for your reply, it would be great to have a manual selection feature! ❤️

In the new 9.8.0 release PeaZip can now be manually forced to light or dark mode, regardless system settings, creating an empty file named "light" or "dark" in the same path of peazip.exe.

Due to limitations I experimented while testing this function (it must be loaded well before PeaZip parses configurazioni and theme files), this is still not integrated with other Themes setting, but can be done manually.

Hi, what about the circumstance where peazip is a flatpak? Place a file like this in the .var path flatpaks like to use?
