Why are my garageband library instrument images green?

I'm probably missing something obvious but...

In Garageband, the images/icons of the instruments in the library are mostly basic green images. Where are the more detailed images/icons?

I have Garageband on an old MacBook pro and they're all there.

But on my newer MacBook pro, there's only a few.

If I try and google this, all I get lots of information about Green tracks, loops etc. but that's not the problem.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.7

It's the new design in GarageBand 10. I am seeing the same in GarageBand 10.4.11.

All software (midi) instruments are shown with green icons, the smart instruments like drummers are golden, the audio instruments are blue. We can now see instantly at a glance, what kind of track we are using.


I preferred also the more detailed icons in GarageBand '11, the current GarageBand is very different from the good old iLive '11 version.
