Marcelo Lopez (ID: 00000013c9d1c712) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/11/2023 I've had this theme for years...and loved it,but something in the sizing now creates a WHITE LINE along the edge of the window just below the tabs. I switching to another Theme and then activated this one back, and the white line still shows up...perhaps an update on this theme would be in order?
