Transparent Background for TextEditor in SwiftUI

I am using SwiftUI to build an app for iOS, iPadOS and macOS and I need a TextEditor with a transparent background.

This question has been asked before and I found a good answer for iOS/iPadOS (Change background color of TextEditor in SwiftUI), but none for macOS.

This is the code I have based on the link above that works perfectly for iOS and iPadOS:

TextEditor(text: $text)
  .foregroundColor(.black)
  .onAppear {
      #if os(macOS)
      // ??
      #else
      UITextView.appearance().backgroundColor = .clear
      #endif
  }

NSTextView doesn't appear to have an equivalent to UITextView.appearance(), so I'm not entirely sure what to do there.

Using .background(Color.clear) also doesn't work:

TextEditor(text: $text)
  .foregroundColor(.black)
  .background(Color.clear)
  .onAppear {
      #if os(macOS)
      // ??
      #else
      UITextView.appearance().backgroundColor = .clear
      #endif
  }

Does anyone know of a way to get a transparent background for a TextEditor on macOS?

Also, this question has already been asked specifically about macOS here: Changing TextEditor background color in SwiftUI for macOS, but no answer that works given.

Here is a possible work around for this. The extension sets all of your TextViews background to .clear and then you are able to change the background color with .background() modifier.

import SwiftUI

extension NSTextView {
    open override var frame: CGRect {
        didSet {
            backgroundColor = .clear //<<here clear
            drawsBackground = true
        }

    }
}

struct ContentView: View {
    
    @State var string: String = ""
    
    var body: some View {
        TextEditor(text: $string)
            .textFieldStyle(PlainTextFieldStyle())
            .background(Color.red) //<< here red
    }
}
