Yes, you should, IMHO.

Just to add some info “from the field”:

My Swing-based app uses NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance = NO in its Info.plist and depending on the effective NSApp appearance (read via JNI) either launches the standard macOS L&F or the Darcula L&F. In case the system appearance is Dark, titlebars are turned dark as well using the client property apple.awt.windowDarkAppearance.

I would appreciate, if this functionality stayed an option, i.e., that an app can react to the system setting.

Thanks,
