I'd love to do a strong color bar like I've mocked up here, but SwiftUI & Tahoe get super cranky if you start trying to draw in the toolbar or sidebar area.

And the sidebar gets uncomfortably chonky to account for the new stoplights with extra padding

I could tint the glass sidebar which looks... ok? But it's still too chunky unless I ignore the stoplights but, ew. The whole things feels really fragile when I start trying to customize anything

Like hiding the dismiss toolbar button causes the old window radius to pop up 😅

Is the new liquid glass way to really just make every app look exactly the same unless there's big, pretty, photo content inside?

Surely there's a way to do this so I can quickly recognize my app's window in Mission Control but keep the app feeling at home in the new world?

@charliemchapman I feel like this was always the case with SwiftUI’s standard styling (nothing new with Liquid Glass)

Every app looks like Reminders unless you spend time customizing.
