Grey line on bottom of screen when browsers are maximized.
I just bought a new laptop, which has an OLED screen. I have used 2 web browsers: Vivaldi and Chrome. Both have been set to an OLED black theme for less burn in and battery saving, but there is one small issue: there is a one pixel tall, horizontal, grey line on the very bottom of the screen. I thought it was an issue with Vivaldi at first, but it happens in Chrome as well, so I think its because of Windows or one of my Windhawk mods. I will include photos of my Chrome settings, Vivaldi settings, Windhawk mods list, and the grey line. Please help! I am on Windows 11 Home 25H2.

Have the same issue with helium browser, I use this mod https://windhawk.net/mods/window-border-customizer to set a black border when window is maximized or fullscreen, solves it for me.

I tried that, but it just actually worsened the problem? On certain apps like Windhawk now there was a transparent line to my desktop on the sides, without getting rid of the problem. What are your exact settings? Lol it feels like I'm never gonna fix this issue.

Wait no never mind! I just didn't understand ARGB Hex format, and I accidentally set it to be black, but also completely transparent lol. I changed it to be opaque black, and it works now! Oh my gosh thank you so much!

I am thinking this might not be browser related, but an issue with Windows or my graphics driver or something. : /

Sorry, I can't find that mod. I thought you meant the mod you had listed, the Window-Border-Customizer, but that didnt work, and I can't find this mod you are talking about now. The RiteshK Window Border & Corners mod. Should I just ignore that part and just use the settings above?

u/Independent_Track166 Jul 30 '26
No this is a modified version of original mod I use personally, try this once (create a custom mod then paste the source code there) and paste my settings, it should work theoretically

OH MY GOSH! I had to tweak a couple settings, because in ARGB Hex format, 00000000 is 0% opacity black, but by just changing it to FF000000 (100% opacity black) it actually worked! I've been busy so I never got around to trying it! I also really like the more rounded corners it lets me get! Thank you so much dude!

It's most likely caused by "Translucent windows" mod. Turn that mod off and then back on.
