 - Docking: Revert removal of io.ConfigDockingWithShift config option (removed in 1.83). (#4643)
 - Docking: Fixed a bug undocking windows docked into a non-visible or _KeepAliveOnly dockspace
   when unrelated windows submitted before the dockspace have dynamic visibility. (#4757)
+- Docking, Style: Docked windows honor ImGuiCol_WindowBg. (#2700, #2539)

 - Docking: Fixed incorrectly rounded tab bars for dock node that are not at the top of their dock tree.
 - Docking: Fixed single-frame node pos/size inconsistencies when window stop or start being submitted.
 - Viewports: Made it possible to explicitly assign ImGuiWindowClass::ParentViewportId to 0 in order
