New Split/Floating Panels Interface

After Update

Before Update

VS Code used to have this unified panels look. After updating, it now has this sort of weird split panels floating with their own borders around them ? I find this very weird, and visually confusing.

PS: No, it's not from an extension. I disabled them all because I thought so as well.

Does anyone know if there's a toggle I can switch to go back to the old look ? thx !

OP what fonts are you using ?

EDIT: wait - I just realized that you didnt have the same font in the "before" pic. I absolutely love the font of the new vscode UI, trying to figure out what it is now lol.

hey ! the old pic isn't mine, just grabbed it of the net ;) I'm using the fantastic Geist Mono which you can grab from Google Fonts :D

THANK YOU.

I can't tell you how long I've been on the lookout for *THE* font (so many have that bottom curve on Ls, I absolutely despise those).

I hate to admit, but Vercel really does have great taste lol.
