Want to note that the -panel_background is actually -background_panel within the code. Once corrected to the proper argument both the opaque and translucent verbs work great.

Thanks for the report. I’ve fixed the typo in the release CL 🙏

Some onboarding UI feedback:

I noticed that the spacing between the topIcon and the title seems to have decreased compared to 2.9.1. I don’t now if it’s due to fonts being rendered differently with SwiftUI compared to AppKit or if the actual spacing has been decreased? The font size of both the title and subtitle seems to have been decreased as well. It would probably be a good idea to review the font sizes. To give an example: the size of the subtitle currently seems to be the same as the body. I think I like the font sizes in 2.9.1 better.

Have changes been made when it comes to how HTML is being rendered in 3.0.0? Please see comparison below.

2.9.1

3.0.0

I also miss the divider/border at the bottom of the onboarding window (between the window content and the buttons):

Will work to fix this too in 3.0.1

@kryptonit1 please check the latest release. About the subtitle style remember that it supports markdown so you can use any related title style ### Title 3, ## Title 2, # Title 1
