Description
Describe the bug
After first working flawlessly I am now experiencing slight flickering. Even a reinstall doesn't fix this issue. I tried several themes and it seems like this could be caused by multiple themes being on top of each other? I mainly use the cyberpunk theme but when I switch back to the default theme I can still see the Cyberpunk theme in the background slightly.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Use the configuration tool
Save and apply the theme
Theme is loaded onto the display and the flickering immediately appears.
Environment:
- Smart screen model [ XuanFang 3.5”]
- Revision of this project [3.9.1]
- OS with version [Win11 23h2]
- Python version [no clue?]
- Hardware [AMD Ryzen 7800X3D, NVIDIA RTX5080]
Additional context
As mentioned above it worked well for a couple of days and today I noticed this issue for the first time.

Research direction
Start with the configuration tool and reproduce the issue on the XuanFang 3.5-inch display using revision 3.9.1 on Windows 11. Trace what happens when switching from the Cyberpunk theme to the default theme; done means theme changes no longer leave a visible overlay or cause flickering, verified with the reported reproduction steps.
