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?

    Good day! Quick update!

    It appears that the vertical white borders in Microsoft Teams' Dark Mode have been quite an inconvenience. I experienced the same issue, but it was resolved after reinstalling Teams. Fortunately, Microsoft has addressed this problem in a recent update.

    Here’s what you can do to fix it:

    1. Ensure you have the latest version of Microsoft Teams. Click on your profile picture in Teams and select Check for updates.
    2. If updating doesn’t resolve the issue, try uninstalling and reinstalling Teams. Go to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps, find Microsoft Teams, and uninstall it. Then, download and install the latest version from the Microsoft Teams website.
    3. Sometimes, resetting the app can help, for end users with no full permissions. Go to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps, find Microsoft Teams, click the three dots next to it, and select Advanced options. Then, click Reset.

    Following these steps should help eliminate the annoying vertical white borders in Dark Mode. If you continue to experience issues, feel free to reach out for further assistance. Thank you.

    This is annoying. It distracts from being able to see when someone has sent a message. Please remove the white lines!

    It still did not resolve the issue. Once the application is uninstalled and then reinstallation is executed, the vertical lines do disappear but then, the fix is temporary. Some kind of add-in feature installation is automatically triggered, and application again starts to exhibit the same kind of vertical lines in dark mode.
