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?

This is so distracting. The white lines catch my eye all the time. It's driving me crazy!!!!
thanks for the idea! worked for me!
I just uninstalled teams and installed it again. Looks like it's fixed now!
This is the closest solution I've found. If you don't have admin permissions, try with the Repair and Reset options (in Win10)
Reseting the app will take out that annoying lines. Caution: This option will delete your local (not synchronized with OneDrive) shared files.
I don't have permissions to do such a thing, still stuck waiting on Microsoft... >:(
I can confirm that this works! Thank goodness! That was one of the more horrific auto-updates from MS. I really wish I could disable auto-updates so I could wait until they figured out what bugs they pushed to prod before updating. It's just bad practice all around on their part. Thank you again for sharing the solution Microsoft apparently could not auto-push like their bugs. (facepalm)
