How can I use the same translucent selection style in the sidebar that apps like Finder, Music, and Podcasts use? By default Mac Catalyst apps seem to use the tint color for the selection, which looks out of place with the system apps.

I use UICollectionLayoutListConfiguration by the way.

You’ll need to use .sidebar as the appearance type for your layout list configuration. Check out the sample app - there’s a list there that you can swap between all appearance styles.

Ah I understand now! I’m still learning all this too, but I recall there being some “background” properties in the new cell configuration classes explained in: https://developer.apple.com/wwdc20/10027Check out Modern cell configuration from #wwdc20
