20829	ChimeraX UI widgets look bad on macOS 26	Tom Goddard	Tom Goddard	"ChimeraX versions since early July 2026 and also development builds on macOS 26.x have ugly button, table, header appearance on macOS 26.  Probably our Github nightly builds which use macos_latest updated causing the newer daily builds to have this bad appearance.  The bad appearance is probably what Apple intends on macOS.

A way to restore the old appearance is to add the following to the ChimeraX Info.plist:

	<key>UIDesignRequiresCompatibility</key>
	<true/>

I'll attach an image showing the Models panel in the new flat, low contrast widgets versus the older widgets."	defect	closed	moderate		Platform		fixed		chimerax-programmers				all	ChimeraX
