Hi,

There’s been a redesign of this area, see:  
[New header dropdown / notification menu styles](https://meta.discourse.org/t/new-header-dropdown-notification-menu-styles/369574)

Is this screenshot from one of the themes here on meta?

If not, my _guess_ is that from the looks of it, your theme uses the same colour var for the whole panel, that is now also being used as the highlight colour.
