Greetings,
Having an issue where when I open a document or application on my desktop, I can see the desktop background through the actual application or document. Kind of weird. Mostly, I just move the document or application around on the desktop, open and close it, ect to be able to see the document or application as oppose to the desktop background showing through. This is happening on my imac I27-inch, late 2013) macOS Catalina Version 10.15.7

Ah, looks like it's being brought to the forefront partially.
I think I'd delete these 2 files & restart...
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
~ tilde indicates your home folder
Apple hid the Users' Library folders...

Was finally able to get a screen shot of the issue for clarity of exactly what's happening. The image below is that of a word document that I am working on, and as you can see, my desktop background is bleeding through the Word document to the extent that I am unable to see the word document that I am working on.
Hello friend! I know I'm late in replying, but I tried the first option for a few weeks and the issue still occurred. I have moved on to options 2-3 and did a little adjusting to all options to see if the issue gets resolved. Fingers crossed. This is really frustrating since I work 100% from home now and host allot meetings/presentations via ZOOM calls.
Thank you so very much! Will try and let you know if it works out.
Best,
Donsha
I take it we got it corrected my friend? :)
OK, do keep us posted please.
