One of the apps I use has Win32 elements that obviously do not inherit dark mode. I would like to avoid applying an entire theme just to change a menu bar and some window backgrounds.
What are the most concise ways to accomplish this on Win 11?
3rd party App developers have to design any/all parts of their app to support dark mode. As far as I know you cannot change anything natively within Windows that would make these elements dark as the hard coding within the app itself does not support it.
Possibly a third party app like Windowblinds can do it but I can not say for certain since I've never used it.

Thank you. My concern with Windowblinds is possibly introducing performance issues. It sucks because it's mainly just the menu bar I want to change because it sticks out like a sore thumb, but all the options to change it seem a little sketchy.
There are other 3rd party apps that may be able to do what you want, but as I said, I do not use any of them so I can't verify that. There are many people here who do use the different ones. Maybe one of them will step in and steer you in the right direction.
Hello, I know this is a bit old but wondering if I bump the thread that I could get some help.
I really would prefer not to use Windowblinds or rectify11 for this if it is possible, and would like to find a method that requires the least amount of modifying registry files.
Is there a text file I can edit that will simply change the color of specific elements or PNG elements I can replace?
No as this is much more complex to accomplish than you make it sound.
This is why you have to pay for most 3rd party apps.
And it is not reg related and there is no .txt file to modify.
Instead you would have to deal with textures, not bitmaps, jpg or png.
Before xml based code, this was compiled in .dll and .exe.
