Borders of UWP apps bugged?

Hi, when I apply a style and have the UWP apps excluded (via settings in curtains), the borders will appear bugged. How to fix?

I've looked into the issue further. The reason is that I created a theme with rounded corners and automatically picked the borders from the titlebar image, so the end of the borders have been cut off. So i was able to solve the (bottom) border like that.

However the top can't seem to be fixed without going to a rectangular theme. Also the area where the titlebar would be in the UWP apps uses the accent color instead of the color I defined in curtains (hence the top here is turqoise  (my accent color) and the bottom is blue (layer image from the titlebar in curtains).

It seems like rounded corners are bugged in general or just not possible without deficits in curtains right now, I'm having issues combined with groupy too, please look at the attached photo. Is it possible to make Groupy respect the transparent edge of the titlebar so it doesn't look off?

Excluding universal applications stops us overriding their own titlebar, but they will paint their titlebars as they see fit on top of the OS ones.  In order to support rounded corners we would be forced to not exclude the apps and be more invasive.

With regards to Groupy, it isn't aware of whats under it, so it doesn't know there is transparency in that area.  Given Microsoft seem to be heading towards rounded corners again (hello Windows 7), we may add in a fixed rounded edge to those in the future, but for now the only option would be to add in the groupy sections to your curtains style and make the left tab image have a rounded corner.

There is a section for Groupy Tabs in Curtains. Refer to screenshot below

Thanks! I've tried editing it and it somewhat works, although I can't make the rounded corner work.

How does the "Groupy.TabLeft"-variable work? I don't see any effect whatsoever, no matter the image i pick...
