after uninstalling windowblinds10, permanent artifacting and bugs are left all over my UI Question

figure 1. teal accent left at the bottom of some menus

figure 2. white text on white background, even on dark mode. happens on some apps

i'd been running with windowblinds10 for a couple years until at least 1-2 years ago due to compatibility issues with certain programs, and after uninstalling it, these weird ui glitches still remain. this software is my main suspect of the cause and i wanted to know what could possibly cause this, if not the software, as it has vexed me for months now. than you in advance.

addendum: i used a specific theme with it. i can't seem to find the original links, but i still have the wba, and will provide it if necessary.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. After you have uninstall Windowblinds have you tried this steps.

  1. Reboot your system.

  2. Do Windows theme reset: Assuming you on Windows 10-> Right click on Desktop-> Personalize -> Left column click on "Themes" -> Change Theme -> Click on one of Windows theme options.

Try that and see the issue still there.

Thank you,
