Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of LaunchBar 6.18.

What's new in this version:

Automatic Theme Switching:
- Added automatic switching between a theme’s dark and light appearance based on the current system appearance
- The desired theme appearance can be chosen in LaunchBar Settings > Appearance
- In addition to automatic switching it’s still possible to choose a fixed dark or light appearance
- The desired appearance can also be chosen in the LaunchBar window. Select a theme (either by browsing the Themes indexing rule or by selecting it directly via abbreviation search), then press Right Arrow (or Space) and choose either Automatic, Light or Dark.
- Added dark variants of built-in themes (except for the “Vintage” theme)

Improvements and Fixes:
- Improved appearance of sidebar in index window
- Improved caching of applications index for better startup performance
- Improved ranking of system applications when searching via abbreviation search
- Fixed: Sending files to a shortcut (those created in the macOS Shortcuts app) didn’t work on macOS Ventura. This was caused by a bug in the Shortcuts API on Ventura, which no longer accepts multiple files or folders to be sent to a shortcut. As a consequence it’s currently only possible to send a single file or folder to a shortcut via LaunchBar on Ventura. On macOS Monterey it’s still possible to send multiple files or folders.
- Fixed a bug causing a file path copied from LaunchBar into a Terminal window to be pasted twice
- Fixed a crash when allowing Calendar/Reminders access after adding or enabling the corresponding indexing rule
- Fixed an issue causing the shadows in a few custom icons to be headed in the wrong direction
