Handbrake: Dark Mode crash on startup (Handbrake 1.3.2)

[kerwinyoder]

I upgraded from 1.3.1 to 1.3.2 on my Windows 10 PC. Prior to the upgrade, dark mode was enabled. When I attempted to open the application after the upgrade, it crashed with the following error.

An Unknown Error has occurred.
System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: Set property 'System.Windows.ResourceDictionary.Source' threw an exception. ---> System.IO.IOException: Cannot locate resource 'themes/controls/treeviewdark.xaml'.

I wasn't able to identify and manually change the configuration that causes it to open in dark mode. I was able to work around the issue by uninstalling 1.3.2, reinstalling 1.3.1, and disabling dark mode. When I reinstalled 1.3.2, it opened successfully. Out of curiosity, I enabled dark mode from 1.3.2. I thought the implementation details may have changed, and it would work if enabled from 1.3.2, but I encountered the same issue and needed to repeat the steps described previously.

I was unsure whether to provide an activity log in addition to the exception log. If so, please clarify if it should be generated during a successful open of 1.3.1 or 1.3.2. Let me know if you need any additional information. Thanks for all the work you do to maintain this project!

Just workaround to manually Turn OFF dark theme:
HB must be closed.
Go to folder %APPDATA%\HandBrake (just copy-paste to explorer adress bar and hit enter)
With text editor (Notepad or similar) open file settings.json
Find text UseDarkTheme: true (usually near bottom of file)
Change true to false
Save file

Please visit HandBrake.fr and re-download the Windows UI. I've rebuilt and republished the file which was faulty.
