Dark Mode doesn't work on Desktop

When I select Dark Mode in Settings, only the apps change to dark mode. The Menu bar and Dock stay in Light Mode. How do I fix this? I'm running macOS 12.0.1 on a Mac mini M1.

Mac mini, macOS 12.0

Dark mode only works on menu bar but not for windows and apps I'm using MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) and running Big Sur. I selected Dark Mode in system preferences but only the menu bar turned dark. Finder windows, Safari, etc remained unchanged (i.e light mode). What could be the problem?

Menu bar dark mode not working I have my appearance set to dark mode (System Preferences -> General -> Appearance -> Dark). My system and dock turn dark, but my menu bar doesn't turn dark. More specifically ... the menu bar dropdowns are correctly in dark mode, but the menu bar itself is not in dark mode. Anybody know how to resolve this? Dark Menu: Light Menu:
