A video would make this easier to explain:

As evident here, when the window is towards the left or right extremes of the screen, it tints to magenta. When it is at the center it tints green. These colors are not from the underlying windows. They are from the Sequoia wallpaper:

Technical Info:

MacOS Sequoia 15.7.4
Itsypad 1.9.6

Thanks for the detailed report! This is actually standard macOS behaviour rather than an Itsypad bug – on Sequoia, the system samples the desktop wallpaper (not the windows behind) for translucent window materials like the titlebar. Every app with translucent window chrome behaves the same way, including System Settings.

Unfortunately this isn't something we can control from the app side. Closing as not actionable, but thanks for taking the time to report it!
