I'm currently planning to convert this into a C++ program as there is no
way from the Tcl itself to change the color and background color of the title
bar or menu of the Git GUI window.

I also CCed Pratyush Yadav as he is the official maintainer of the project.
Regarding GUI toolkit, you should pick the replacement carefully -
tooling used in Git for Windows will need to be adapted in order to
compile your chosen toolkit (whether it is Qt, GTK, or wxWidgets) for
Windows.
Have you tried git cola? [1]

It uses Qt. It's cross-platform and written in Python.

Git GUI is useful because it's built in, but from a usability
perspective cola has many advantages.

It has a dark mode that works more or less how you described:
- system default
- user-specified theme (dark/light with a few color variations)

.. and beyond these rather small differences, git cola even has image
diffs[2]. That alone is a killer feature.
