Yesterday morning, seemingly after an update, everyone in my group who uses Dark Mode in Teams noticed vertical white lines appear that divide the sections of the chat screen (between the left side icons and the chat selection tree as well as between the tree and the chat window itself. We all find these lines very annoying and would like to remove them. However, we haven't found a way to turn them off. Suggestions (besides switching to the blinding Light or Classic modes?

    You can't get rid of them- it's in the source code I think

    Please make them go away! I also want you to make dark mode slightly lighter, just a bit, so it's easier to differenciate all the windows.

    I have tried everything again; from deleting the cache, removing Teams from the Registry as below:

    1. Quit Teams:
    2. Uninstall Microsoft Teams:
    3. Uninstall Teams Machine-Wide Installer:
    4. Delete Teams Data & Cache
    5. Restart Your Computer.

    I then reinstalled Teams. It starts in "Follow Operating System Theme", runs updates and re-downloads my data. But as soon as I select Dark scheme, it gets those 2 white lines back. Why can't I get rid of them when I deleted every trace of Teams from my machine?

    It comes back after a few days and a PC reboot :(
