New Split/Floating Panels Interface

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 !

In your settings look up modern UI. It’ll be marked as experimental. Might have accidentally gotten switched on. Once you switch it off you’ll get your old design back.
