I’m having a go at reorganising the workspace so I can have all my palettes on a second screen. However the main window holds focus and all palettes have the appearance of being inactive.

Note that they still respond to clicks, but everything is dimmed and quite hard to read. Is this something which can be fixed?

Guessing this isn’t a priority? 🤔

This is a known issue and very tricky to fix as it’s tied to the system. We’re aware, but it’s low priority. Sorry!
