Microsoft PowerToys version

0.70.0

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Running as admin

No

Area(s) with issue?

Peek

Steps to reproduce

Preview any text-based file.

✔️ Expected Behavior

File contents to appear without a flashbang.

❌ Actual Behavior

When previewing any text file when in Dark mode, Peek will draw the window in white, then redraw in black. For any window of moderate to large size, this means every time you preview a text file, you're getting an annoying white flash.

Understand that may be outside of Powertoy's control at the moment, as this is generally a problem across Windows since dark mode was made possible.

Also some filetypes previews are left completely white mode all the time (.csv, .ahk, ...)

These epilepsy-inducing, short, bright flashes are really painful.
