[Bug]: Windows High Contrast themes break UI #863

Description

@joebobbio

Affected Version

Collapse 1.83.15, but probably also any version

Bug Behavior

When Windows high contrast themes are enabled (Settings > Accessibility > Contrast themes), the entire Collapse Launcher UI becomes unusable with the following message:

Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Markup.XamlParseException: The text associated with this error code could not be found.

Cannot find a Resource with the Name/Key SmokeFillColorCollapseBrush [Line: 0 Position: 0]
   at WinRT.ExceptionHelpers.<ThrowExceptionForHR>g__Throw|41_0(Int32) + 0x42
   at ABI.Microsoft.UI.Xaml.IApplicationStaticsMethods.LoadComponent(IObjectReference, Object, Uri, ComponentResourceLocation) + 0x133
   at CollapseLauncher.Pages.HomePage.<StartLoadedRoutine>d__229.MoveNext() + 0x419

This happens on Windows 11 24H2 and potentially previous Windows versions, but I haven't tested myself.

Expected Behavior

Collapse Launcher's UI should be functional with high contrast themes enabled

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable high contrast themes in Settings > Accessibility > Contrast themes (it doesn't matter what theme)
  2. Open Collapse and see the broken UI
