you can turn off transparency, or change the window tint option in system preferences.
I actually don't mind it but it gets really bad in xcode 27 beta. if you have a dark theme editor in light mode app, the whole window interface is fully transparent so it will display black except for the navigator, but also the interface text won't flip to white so it will be invisible.
essentially you will have to switch to fully dark mode, or use a light theme for light mode. i really really hate dark mode, it is so disorienting to me. i have a hard time distinguishing where windows start and end. but then i also don't like light themes for editors as colorful text doesn't pop out as well.
the future is dim
