You can also use like this ```NSColor(named: "backgroundTheme")?.withAlphaComponent(0.7)``` — Raja Kishan, Aug 11 '21 at 11:13

NSColor already have a Color init. You can use it like

NSColor(Color("backgroundTheme")).withAlphaComponent(0.3)

Or you can get color by name like this

NSColor(named: "backgroundTheme")?.withAlphaComponent(0.3)

A curiosity why inside an AppDelegate function I can't read the color correctly. This changes appearance from light to darkmode, for him it remains light. – Paul Aug 11 '21 at 14:58
