Themes not working properly

After the most recent update, Thunderbird went to Dark theme. I tried to put it back to Default theme, and it is still in Dark theme although with the task bar headers default. Putting it on Light theme makes everything washed out and colors are wrong. I was happy before with the appearance, now it looks childish and ugly. This last update seems to have broken the appearance. Can I roll it back?

I think the change was in 1903, which introduced the Light theme. I have 1909, but it's the app mode that affects TB themes.
