Some applications under Windows 11 use curled corners and big shadows even when running under Windows Classic theme.
These include Telegram Desktop and FileLocator Lite.
I found that this can be mitigated either by
* Setting compatibility layer to Windows 8 on the compatibility tab.
or
* Setting the compatibility layer to Win8RTMVersionLie via registry (it is less invasive than Win8RTM layer)
or
* Setting the global environment variable __COMPAT_LAYER with value Win8RTMVersionLie:
The later will affect all programs.
P.S. It seems, Telegram Desktop is affected only by user's (not system's) environment configuration.
