Description
### Checks
- [x] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
- [x] I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.
- [ ] I am using the prerelease version of Flow Launcher.
### Problem Description
My Windows 11 Accent colour is Automatic based on the wallpaper, I have my wallpaper on a slideshow mode changing every 1 minute so there's always a new accent colour.
But the second I turn accent colour on automatic flow launcher can't handle it and consistently crashes, lagging my entire computer before it crashes. I can also turn accent colour off automatic and it instantly begins working again
I have WIN UI 3 theme installed and enabled if that helps

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash with Windows 11 Accent colour set to Automatic and a wallpaper slideshow, then review the attached Flow.Launcher log for the failing component. Trace the accent-colour or theme-handling entry point and verify that typing in Flow Launcher remains responsive and does not crash while the accent colour changes.
