Ultra dark theme causes some PWA Title Bar Window Controls to become invisible

In some Brave PWAs, turning on Ultra dark theme causes the windows controls (minimize, maximize, close) to become invisible. Only the black Title Bar is visible.

When highlighted with the mouse, the close button appears (white X on top of a red highlight) but the other two buttons (minimize and maximize) remain invisible. The buttons do function normally when clicked and the tooltip that displays their name when the mouse hovers over the button icons also functions normally.

I have observed this behavior on some, but not all of my PWAs. This issue is confirmed on the following Brave PWAs: Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Keep, Google Maps, Fantasy Premier League (fantasy.premierleague.com), Amazon Shopping, ESPN, PayPal and more.

Examples of Brave PWAs that DO NOT HAVE this issue are Google Messages, Reddit, and Instagram.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the affected PWAs does not solve the problem.

Description of the issue:
How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Open Brave Browser and open Gmail.com

  2. Install Gmail as a Brave PWA

  3. Launch the Gmail Brave PWA

  4. Go to Brave > Settings > Appearance > Theme and enable Ultra dark theme

  5. Observe the Window controls of the Gmail PWA become invisible as the Ultra dark theme option is toggled.

  6. Repeat this with the other listed PWAs

Expected result: Window controls should remain visible at all times, including when Ultra dark theme is toggled.

Brave Version( check About Brave): Brave 1.88.136 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Information: Windows 11 Home 25H2, OS Build 26200.8039

Can reproduce (YouTube on top working, Maps on bottom not working):

Thank you for the confirmation of reproducibility.

Sidenote: if you are a PWA user, I HIGHLY recommend enabling PWA tabbed mode (developer mode, then for each PWA individually via brave://apps > app > App settings). It will make them more powerful.
