Dragging a window (for example windows explorer) over MusicBee's window causes a dark line to show at the top border.

From my testing it seems to happen to all xlmc skins.

When you take a screenshot of it, you get this:



with a transparent line:



And here is how it actually looks like on the screen:

With standard .xml skins, it doesn't?

Correct, (as far as I can see from testing various skins I have installed)

What version of MB are you using? (Help > About) INCLUDE THE LETTER (if any) AFTER THE NUMBER
How was MB installed? (Store, Installer, Portable)
Download the latest MusicBee v3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

I can't see it on my side. But as a last question from me, does it also happen with MB's default skin, MusicBee3.xmlc?

Also, I remember you were one of the victims of a windows update where "Visual gaps started appearing in the wave bar."
I couldn't reproduce that issue at the time whilst using the same windows version as you. So maybe this is one of those.

i can reproduce this with any skin that has a non-black header, but only with windows explorer. There isnt anything being done by MusicBee itself, and no way that i know how to detect when it does happen, so it will remain unsolved

What's a non-black header?

Which element in the skin can I change to 0,0,0 to test if it fixes the problem?

Yes. It's less noticeable because the title bar of MusicBee3 is darker but it is there.

Also if you want an example of an xml skin that has a white title bar but does not have the issue, you can try "Cotton (slim)" in the "Neutral" skin folder.
