Is anyone else using one of the "Dark" editor themes (such as "Default (Dark)" or "Classic (Dark)" in Xcode? And is anyone doing this with Xcode 26 on macOS 26?
Here's the result while using the "Default (Dark)" theme while my Mac is in "light" mode:
Note that the black background of the editor goes all the way to the far left edge of the Xcode window. The large gray area in the project tree is the black background bleeding through the sidebar.
This is really distracting. Is there a way to fix this (besides not using a dark theme - I've been using dark themes for over 30 years)? This appears to be a poor design decision in macOS 26 to have split views show the background of the secondary column behind the primary column. iPadOS 26 has the same issue (see https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/800073).

I'm looking for a way to make the following possible in Xcode (26.0 or later):
I select one or more lines of code. I then enter a hotkey (or select a menu item) that results in adding the line:
#ifdef SOME_MACRO
before the selection and adding the line:
#endif
after the selection.
Example:
Start with the following lines of code:
BOOL x = NO;
int y = 4;
NSString *str = @"Hello";
If I then highlight the int y = 4; line and use the proper hotkey or menu, the result would be:
BOOL x = NO;
#ifdef SOME_MACRO
int y = 4;
#endif
NSString *str = @"Hello";
Is something like this possible in Xcode?
I looked at code snippets but that doesn't seem to support wrapping existing code.
I looked at the Xcode Settings under Editor and Shortcuts and didn't see a way to add such a custom shortcut.
