In macOS, some apps have semi-transparent panes and toolbars. If something colorful sits beneath them, these surfaces show a blurred version of the colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the underlying content below\u00a0is animated, and this can be distracting to some folks, especially those with vestibular disorders. However, it\u2019s easy to remedy this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click the option to “Reduce transparency.\u201d The transparent areas of the desktop and app windows become gray. Semi-transparent panes and toolbars will become solid (as will the macOS menu bar and its menus).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Accessibility
Choose “Reduce Transparency”<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can also enhance the clarity of your Mac\u2019s screen by enabling the \u201cIncrease contrast\u201d option. This darkens the pane and button borders. I find it a bit much, but, thankfully, I don\u2019t suffer from any vestibular disorders.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you can increase the contrast.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
