Black Menu Bar in Big Sur

I just upgraded to Big Sur, liking it for the most part. However, my Menu Bar is black. I've tried toggling back and forth between Light, Dark, and Auto, restarting between changes. Checked Screen Saver prefs. Still black. Any other ideas?

I have the same problem, just stuck in light mode. Switching appearance settings between dark and light does not change the menu bar. Issue persists with restarts.
