Expected Behavior

Expected Spotify to remain operational and stable when changing the theme or wallpaper on the Linux distribution.

Additional Information

Encountered this problem after utilizing specificity to style and customize Spotify's appearance. It appears that the issue may be related to these customizations, as the crashes and restarts only occur when attempting to change the theme or wallpaper on the Linux distribution.

It's not crashes but spicetify-CLI will restart Spotify spawning it to your current workspace

For now your can disable this behavior by not having the colors dynamic on the go

Remove this lines for now

Will try to find a way on fixing this as I find it annoying too
