A little more testing reveals it is not because of the TopLevel status and
is something else.

I can change the startup form to be the window that's not changing the
menubar bg and it still does not work.
I now do not know what's causing it.

So i've worked around it by not setting the colors on the main form just
the containers (so menubar is not effected)
