Plenty of other themes have this issue with Franz and other applications built using Electron. It's not a bug with Mint-Y-Darker. I'd report it here https://github.com/meetfranz/franz/issues and reference electron/electron#14785

But, Mint-Y Dark works well...

The bug in Electron/Franz is that it is not using the right background / foreground colors for the menubar and is mixing menubar and menu colors. If your theme uses the same or similar colours for both it's not an apparent problem i.e. in Mint-Y-Dark. If your theme uses very different colors for both then it becomes a problem i.e Mint-Y-Darker.

The bug looks to have recently been fixed in Electron... electron/electron#15878 ... so hopefully it won't be long until a new Franz version comes out with the fix.

I understand, thank you very much for the explanation. Closing the issue
