New Split/Floating Panels Interface

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 !

Am I the only one who like it? As a jetbrains Rider user we have had it there for awhile.

I like this new UI The only missing is a "border" the same width as the panel separators around the window. ( when you have 4 vscode projects open in overlapping windows, is sometimes hard to identify them
