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?

I hope this is resolved ASAP because it's super DISTRACTING... Come on Microsoft.. Do Better.

the only fix seems to be to use classic mode in dark mode, I sure hope they fix this cause it's so distracting.
Few graphical issues annoy me as much as this one does - what an eyesore!
I wrote a quick batch file to handle this since it happens so frequently for me. It's at least quicker than doing it manually.
In case others find it useful or wish to improve/modify it until this is fixed properly, this has been working for me lately:
::Kill Teams
taskkill /IM ms-teams.exe /f
::Navigate to Teams directory
cd "%userprofile%\appdata\local\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams"
::Deletes all files and folders in that folder
del /q *.*
rmdir /s /q .
::relaunch teams
start "" ms-teams
exit
Please fix
I don't understand why removing the cache & registry entries for Teams, then deleting & reinstalling the program does not work. Clearly there is some sort of data relating to customised options stuck somewhere in the machine. It's been well over 2 weeks, we've had Patch Tuesday, and still no fix. Those of us used to dark mode find the white/light/operating system difficult to use again. I also understand that this appears to be a graphical glitch and not something that stops the program working (unlike Acrobat Reader and 24H2).
Is it possible to get Microsoft to advise where the remaining customisation data for the program resides?
And why is it that 2 white lines that are 1 pixel wide is sending me completely off my rocker?
