White border appearing on Windows 7 style Start Menu
Wednesday, September 25, 2024 by Victechnical | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I've been seeing a white border around the Windows 7 style Start Menu (Start 11) for a while. It happens with all WindowBlinds themes. It doesn't happen with any of the other Start Menu styles, such as Modern or Windows 10, etc. See the screenshot below. Any suggestions as to how to fix it will be appreciated.

1.Windows full version and OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe.
1 Start11 full version number.
1.Do you see the issue on WB style such as Acrylic 7, Arcenic.. etc?
Windows 11 Home 23H2 (OS Build 22631.4269)
Start 11 v2.11
Turns out the problem doesn't appear on all "blinds". For instance, Acrylic 7 and Aero 11 display properly, however Alienware and Allegiance have the white border. I'll upload more screenshots tomorrow.

Please try this: In Start11 v2.11 disable/turn off "Mica Effect", refer screenshot below.
