Ive noticed duffmann having issues with the app on stream. He runs windows 11 and for some reason his app sometimes turns black. He then had to restart until it displays correctly again. This is likely a visual error as his streamer mode was still working and updating. There also was no error dialog. He was using the dark mode. Maybe this resolves with the new version

That's most likely an issue with combination of graphics card / drivers / windows. Could also be an issue with OBS and Windows/GPU. I've come across the same issue on my laptop with OBS - chrome had black screen. https://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/how-to-fix-an-obs-black-screen-capture-error/#:~:text=Disable%20Hardware%20Acceleration%20in%20Chrome&text=If%20you%20have%20hardware%20acceleration,will%20show%20a%20black%20screen.

The solution for this should be option to disable HW acceleration, preferably it should be in the settings. Similar issue in another electron app eclipse-theia/theia#7524

PS Pro tip: Don't run Windows 11, it's a shit ...
