Hey, thanks for the report. I can see both screenshots. The Cursor Settings pane looks dimmed or washed out, to the point the text is almost unreadable. On the second one you have the About dialog open, and the dimmed background there is expected.
3.11.13 updated Chromium to 144, and updates like that can sometimes cause rendering issues on macOS. Let’s try a couple things first:
Toggle Disable Hardware Acceleration in settings, or run cursor --disable-gpu from Terminal. This helps rule out GPU-related issues.
Change theme: Cmd+KCmd+T, switch between light and dark. This sometimes resets a broken theme state.
macOS System Settings > Accessibility > Display. Check Reduce Transparency and Increase Contrast.
Run cursor --disable-extensions to rule out a conflict with a UI or theme extension.
A couple questions to narrow it down:
Is it only the Settings pane and modals that are dimmed, or does the editor itself (code, sidebar, chat) also look broken?
Can you share a short screen recording that shows what happens when you open and close Settings?
Let me know what helped, and we’ll figure out the next step.
