Groupy 2 visual bug/glitch

strange line on titlebar

Hello, I want to appeal a bug that ruins explorer's look for me. I'm using groupy 2 for tabs and curtains for rounded corners, for some reason when I installed groupy 2 and set the integrated tabs option, upon opening the windows exporer there's a strange line that looks out of place. I don't know if this is intended, but I'll appreciate if this is fixed.

Additional information: I've tried to change titlebar color in curtains, but the line is always brighter than the titlebar, so there's no way around it without developer involvement.

Windows version: 21H2

OS build: 19044.3086

Groupy 2 version: 2.1

Curtains version: 1.19.1

For anyone to be able to help you, full Windows version number is needed (Run winver.exe), Groupy version number and Curtains version number.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Have you tried changing Groupy tabs background bar color to 32,32,32?

Thanks

May I know which Curtains Theme you applied?

Thank you,

Sure, here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OfaUnBS83Cguj8fjGkyxOrqAzZnWshGs/view?usp=sharing

But honestly, I don't think this is the curtains problem, because even if I switch to system's default theme the issue persists.

Here's screenshot of the problem without any Curtains theme:

Yes, I believe that is so, its look like separation line between titlebar and the address bar area and the search box.

Thank you,

So is this intended or not?
This separation line really messes up my view, would like this to be fixed.
Because before almost all of my programs looked cleaner without it, for example Winrar:

Not sure if it intended or not but from my observation, Explorer is not Winrar so the design will definitely different. Anyway, to be sure, I have forward your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

Oh, thank you for your help!

One last thing I want to point out that It's definitely Groupy adding that line when grouping windows.
Here are screenshots of before and after in terms of Winrar:
