Describe the bug
The Dracula theme is supposed to be a dark theme. However, the theme is recognized as a light theme.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
You can enable the theme and open Firefox or Chrome. Under appearance settings, you will see that the system theme is light.
Of course, Firefox and Chrome have numerous settings to go around this, but Menubar is in light theme with other programs like Slack and Skype.

Expected behavior
The expected behavior would be recognized as a dark theme, and the Menubar would have Dracula colors #282a36.

Screenshots
This is Slack using Dracula: https://ibb.co/9bvsxL2
This is Slack if I run the app with "GTK_THEME=Adwaita-dark": https://ibb.co/LgBW66h

Additional context
I have gone through the theme's colors and found mentions of Menubar in "gtk-3.0/gtk.css." However, the color seems correct there.

I am also having this issue on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS x86_64.

I solved this on one machine, but can't manage to figure it out on the next months later. There was some thread snippet I found that managed to revert the Pop!_OS master light/dark to dark without disabling the Dracula. Can't find it now. Seems like GTK is a slippery target and cappucin is archiving their similar repo

It's mainly an issue with the way how Pop!_OS determines wheter a theme is dark or light just by the theme's name besides the use of snap apps which have a different way to theme them.

In some previous versions of Pop!_OS this issue was easily fixable by adding -dark at the end of the theme's name
