Link to the code that reproduces this issue

https://github.com/teamleaderleo/clean-slate-repo

To Reproduce

  1. Start the application in development (next dev).
  2. Click the on-screen indicator in the bottom left.
  3. Click "Preferences."
  4. Be in system dark mode or select dark mode as your theme.
  5. Click any selection.

Note: I tested on Chrome and Edge.

Current vs. Expected behavior

Current:

When the Dark theme is active, each <option> in the native <select> still uses the browser’s white popup with white text. As a result, you cannot read which option is highlighted or selected.

Expected:

In dark mode, every <option> should render with a dark background and light text. Or, perhaps darker text when highlighted, like the vercel.com website? Though that might end up being too much styling to replicate; perhaps dev mode should intrinsically be much more minimal in its styling.
