Windows 10: 1 pixel border around menus and thick borders

Hey,I recently got a problem where my taskbar menus got a 1 pixel border, and the Windows Settings menu has a very thick border. Control Panel menus are even weirder than the Settings menu. I've fixed this temporarily repeatedly by switching to another preset Windows theme and reverting it back to the theme I ususally use, but over a few days, it'll come back. I've attached some photos for reference. I've looked over some posts on the internet, but they all don't help hacked theme, uninstall display drivers, etc.. Can anyone help?

:)

 

Strange 1 pixel border around my start menu

After recent updates, a strange 1 pixel border has appeared around my start menu. My best guess is that it is from the window frame style that is mistakenly being applied to the menu.

It is a bit of an eye sore!

 

1 pixel wide border outside windows in High Contrast


Greetings,

I'm having a sort of an issue with window borders with custom High Contrast themes. I'm trying to create a dark theme based off an existing one I've found that could be used without patching any system files, hence why it uses High Contrast to get custom colors. I've had most of the problem already solved, notably the huge window borders, and I've acknowledged that some things may remain broken (such as tray icons having borders all around with the same color as button text).

The issue I'm now concerned about relates to window borders. Outside the standard window border, there is a 1 pixel wide border on the very outside of a window:





I've noticed that the border seems to have the same color as the window title text. It seems like an inane decision from Microsoft's part - if you want a dark theme, you probably want dark title bars, so white text, and you get ugly white borders, as if you were trying to make a triangle of three gears move. In the image, I've had a compromise of grayish text which makes the text harder to read, but the borders more tolerable.

My question is, is it possible to either change the color of this border independently or remove it altogether? I've tried to search for instructions online without any success so far.

Thanks in advance.
