Traffic light colors when unfocused

  • Bear Version: 2.8.1 (14428)
  • OS Version: Tahoe 26.5.2
  • What were you doing: Unfocused bear
  • What feature did you use: N/A
  • What happened: Traffic light buttons are completely black
  • What did you expect to happen: Dimming/graying

When the Bear main window is not in focus, like when opening the settings window or focusing another app, the traffic light buttons go completely black, while before they just dimmed. I wonder if this is intentional as it looks quite jarring.

This only happens on the main theme for me.

I think this is standard macOS behaviour is it not? Most apps do this.

I don’t think so. Most other apps dims them to a more pleasant gray, like this (Safari), and Bear also had dimmed on unfocused before the Tahoe change.

I can confirm the above is the expected result when the traffic light are placed on a dark background.
