How to get rid of taskbar border?
For anyone hitting this question: this "border" is an (obviously buggy) consequence of the OpenShell setting called "Customize taskbar", which I had enabled. It apparently allowed to make the taskbar transparent (with adjustable transparency values).
I don't know why one would want to have that and I also don't recall if, why and when I had set that option. Maybe that setting got copied over from my earlier Windows version. Unchecking/disabling this option made that additional border disappear.For those that don't know OpenShell: OpenShell (https://open-shell.github.io/Open-Shell-Menu/) is an add-on that allows you to have a classic Windows 7 style start menu on your system. It did away with the brain-damaged Windows start menu "tiles" UI that had been introduced with Windows 8 and which had later been slightly changed into the current (but IMHO still unusable) Windows 10 and 11 start menu. This is always one of the first applications that I install on a fresh Windows system...
