  1. Windows 10 high contrast theme: Any way to remove button separators on the taskbar?


    I use the High contrast theme for Windows 10 because it allows for customization of the Window metric colors natively. I noticed that Taskbar buttons on the left and right side both have vertical separators between them, and they seem to be reliant on the Title bar text color. If someone knows the element of the .msstyle that I need to change, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Here is an example of what I'm talking about: https://imgur.com/XzpxI7N
