Describe the bug
When the "transparency": true setting is used, there is a memory leak that happens when an inactive program cannot be transparent.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Add "transparency": true and "transparency_alpha": 210 to the config
  2. Open a program that can be transparent and an other that cannot (ex: Visual Studio Community 2022).
  3. Observe komorebi.exe in the Task Manager
  4. When the program that cannot be transparent becomes inactive the memory consumption rises

I only found Visual Studio to not allow transparecy so far.

Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit)
Version 17.9.7

Screenshots and Logs

Typical MEM is around 40 MB. After leaving Komorebi run for a while MEM is over 3 GB.

When I run Komorebi locally, it starts to spam this warning when VS becomes inactive.

Of course it would be a Microsoft application 🙃

I think we can probably refactor this to log the error instead of propagate it to the thread handler which should stop the global state tracker from filling up on every thread restart.

I'll be happy to test again so you are not forced to dirty your system with VS 😉

To be fair, there might be other programs out there, but Microsoft VS is one of them for sure.

The commit above should address the memory ballooning issue 🤞
