White border appearing on Windows 7 style Start Menu

September 25, 2024 9:45:39 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

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.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need more information.

  1. Windows full version and OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe
  2. Start11 full version number.
  3. Do you see the issue on WB style such as Acrylic 7, Arcenic.. etc?

Thank you.

1 Start11 full version number.

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.

Well, I'm happy to say that turning off Mica Effect fixed the display problem.  Thanks!
