The UI on my Macbook Air M1 turns into purple beautifully when the window is moved to Desktop 2.
This does not seems to be the tinting feature of Big Sur, since the color turns to black again when moved back to desktop 1.
Does any one know what's going on?

I figured it out. When you select Show Keyboard Viewer within the keyboard input menu in the menu bar, it automatically enables Accessibility Keyboard, in the same way as though you had checked Enable Accessibility Keyboard in System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard > Accessibility Keyboard.
Now, this feature has its own hot-corner functionality (the default setting is Hide / Show Home Panel in all four corners), but it only gets activated if the cursor keeps touching (or “dwelling on”) one of the corners for 1–2 seconds. After this delay, the keyboard viewer is hidden or shown once again. It is during this short delay that the quarter circle appears and its white edge gets gradually filled up with gray—see the picture below.
If you have FileVault activated and are struggling to set your desired language on the login screen try the following:
sudo cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.HIToolbox.plist /Library/Preferences/Tested on Big Sur

Same issue here. Filed a bug report to apple. Specially XCode looks annoying .... but only when shown in fullscreen or on a second desktop. The main desktop is fine.
I worked around it by:
System Preferences -> General -> DISABLE: "Allow wallpaper tinting in windows"
