Gray box for kerning?

All of the tutorials I am using have a similar grey box they use for kerning and spacing. There is a grey box that appears for me but it is slightly different and doesn’t appear to be working the same as it does in my tutorials. Could someone please help me by letting me know whether or not these two panels are the same, just different looking boxes? And if not, how would I get the darker grey box to appear for me?

Are you working in Glyphs 1?

Now I get it. The dark grey one is what it used to look like in Glyphs 1. The video tutorials are being updated, but some still show the old app version with its UI.

Im currently using the demo version, just testing it out. So it is the same box just from a newer version?

Yes.
