Drop the no-op class brush call from DWM chrome

[Finesssee]

Summary

Removes a background-brush call in shell/dwm.rs that never did anything. Nothing on screen changes.

apply_chrome called SetWindowLongPtrW(hwnd, GCL_HBRBACKGROUND, brush). GCL_HBRBACKGROUND (-10) is a SetClassLongPtr index, not a GWL_* index, so the call failed and its result was ignored. The PR drops it along with the CreateSolidBrush import, the cached DARK_BRUSH and the gdi32 link. Each window's erase colour already comes from the builder's background_color(...).

The first commit also stopped setting DWMWA_USE_IMMERSIVE_DARK_MODE on the light tray flyout. The CUA check showed that this changed nothing: the flyout builder pins .theme(Some(Theme::Dark)) (flyout_window.rs:127, needed so the WebView2 theme of the other windows doesn't flip), and the windowing library sets the flag itself. The second commit restores the original code, so the net diff is the dead-call removal only.

Real-window proof (cua-driver, Windows 11, 96 DPI, second monitor)

The proof build of 3216ebc ran the same chrome checklist as #799 (W:/mac-parity/report/dwm-cleanup/cua/). Compared with the #799 run: same 310 px width and 465 px at 150% scale, same rounded corners (corner preference 2), the same 0.9% darkest frame while opening, and the dark-mode flag reads 1 on the flyout under the app's dark, light and auto themes in both runs. The final commit only restores code that is identical to main.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Window backgrounds no longer use a cached dark brush.
  • Window title bars continue to use immersive dark styling only for dark chrome, with caption colors applied across chrome styles. Light panels no longer receive the dark-mode setting.

The DWM shell no longer declares or caches a dark GDI brush. It also no longer creates or reuses that brush to set the window background.

LightPanel still receives the immersive-dark-mode setting despite the dark-surfaces-only behavior. The flyout is captionless, so visible impact is unconfirmed; this is a limited chrome concern that merits correction.

🟡 Minor · Apply immersive dark mode according to chrome. · dwm.rs:244-249

apps/desktop-tauri/src-tauri/src/shell/dwm.rs:244-249
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Apply immersive dark mode according to chrome.

LightPanel currently passes 1 to DWMWA_USE_IMMERSIVE_DARK_MODE. Pass 0 for LightPanel so a previous dark-mode setting does not persist when the same HWND changes chrome.

🐛 Suggested fix

-    let dark_mode: u32 = 1;
+    let dark_mode: u32 = match chrome {
+        Chrome::Dark | Chrome::DarkResizable => 1,
+        Chrome::LightPanel => 0,
+    };
