Mac widget bug white overlay

the flip clock widget on the top right is broken, it was normal back then but now it has this white bg behind the numbers (it was always dimmed i like it being dimmed but the white overlay behind the flip clock is making me mad.) ive tried using terminal, deleting chronod files and reinstalling

Did this start happening after a certain macOS update?

nope… got a macbook m5air, uodaed to golden gate and all was fine. then it turned to this a week later
