Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing 'Find My Mouse' module in the PowerToys codebase (https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main/src/modules/mouseutils). Look at how other color settings (like the spotlight color) are implemented via XAML and C# settings. Understand the ColorPicker control usage. Then propose adding an accent color option that uses the system accent color dynamic resource.
