Theme Bug (?) A border line between toolbar and website area

There is a border line separating toolbar area and the website area. Get rid of it please.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Use theme called Aura or VS Code or other themes.
  2. There will be a border line between upper area (where it houses toolbars, tabs, 3-lines menu button, etc) and below area (where the actual website is displayed). The color of the line varies depends on the theme used, and sometimes it is thin so you might miss it on first glance.

Expected result:
NO border line between toolbar area and website display area, to achieve a cleaner look.

Brave Versions:
1.73.89

Additional Information:

  • Before 1.71.121 – the border line is there. All themes have it except the default built-in theme.
  • 1.71.121 – no border line there, which was perfect. The best version, theme-wise.
  • 1.73.89 – the border is there again.

You might not notice the border line because it is rather thin, but it is there. I just found out that in the version 1.73.89 (the latest version when this report is being written) all the built-in themes also have that border line. In previous versions, the only built-in theme which has no border is the default theme, while other color of default themes have it. That default theme was the only last resort theme I use when all other themes do not satisfy me. Now even the default theme has border. Anyway, I attached few examples using Aura theme version 2.0.0. Thank you.

Does it disappear when you enable it?

Thanks for the quick reply. The flag works. The border line is gone. But now there is this thing. I don’t know what you call it. It’s like small part of the “frame” is apparent in the corner of the website viewing area. It is visible only at the top left corner. I guess it appears there because that is the only dark part. Maybe if all four corners are dark then that “thing” would be visible too.

Another thing to add. Enabling this rounded corner flag creates dead zones for the mouse cursor at the most left and right side of the website viewing area, I’m used to put my mouse cursor there to scroll. I first noticed this similar behaviour on Opera. I didn’t know what caused it until you pointed out that rounded corner flag tip. If it indeed is the cause. Is there a workaround to disable these dead zones? Maybe another flags I can try?
