Example XCode app:

I agree that those buttons need a redesign.

There does not seem to be one consistent design for that kind of buttons in macOS. In many apps, for example Contacts, the design looks completely different from the one of Xcode:

@david-swift Yes, that looks great! And you're right, there aren't a consistant style for these buttons except that they're generally more minimal than the ones from Settings Kit :D

In SettingsKit 0.1.8, the sidebar buttons look now like that:

Thanks to @longseespace for opening this issue.

@david-swift I think the background should be white, or closer to the left pane than the right pane. What do you think? 🤔

[david-swift]

Do you think like that?

I think that looks much better.

Exactly. Looks perfect now!! 💯

You can upgrade to SettingsKit 0.1.9 in order to get the new design. I'm extremely grateful for this issue as the buttons in the sidebar look now much better than before! Thanks a lot, @longseespace!
