Since the Lutris upgrade, there’s been an old-style Windows blue bar at the top:
Anyone figured out how to remove that? It’s ugly and it takes up space.

I don’t know how this works in a managed interface like that, but what you’re looking at is modified here in the winecfg GUI:
It might be with Lutris you need to modify a configuration file. I’d search the broader 'net for tips on what configuration flag to use.

Sadly, this did not work. I’m open to other suggestions, and I’m going to post on the Lutris forums to see if maybe they have a solution.
Any luck finding a solution?

No, no luck. I asked at the Lutris forums and got no response. I’ve decided to just live with it, honestly.

Do a backup of your files and try following the advice shared on the other thread:
“I’d pick System (11.0) (which is the Wine installed on your system) and disable everything you see on that screen except Esync, Fsync, and DPI scaling. Scrivener isn’t a game, so the other settings don’t really apply.
Also, if it’s using the environment variables from the original, older script, I’d remove them too, as they’re rather unnecessary now.
Or, if you feel like it, do a backup and a fresh install, if you’re having performance problems.”
Also, make sure the Windows version under Wine Settings is at least Windows 10.
Actually, try unchecking Disable Lutris Runtime under System Settings - or checking it. Click prefer system libraries, too. Play around with some of these settings before reinstalling the app.
I missed this post somehow. I’m going to try this today!

Let us know how it goes.
Didn’t work. I’ve learned to live with the blue bar. Sigh.
I don’t see it asked yet, but are you using Wayland? If so, then that is a known problem that hasn’t been fixed yet. Best you can do is go into the Desktop Integration tab and set the colours to something a bit less garish.

I am on Wayland, yes. Thanks for the tip about the colour.
Did you try with a complete reinstall with the website script? Or in a virtual machine?
I’m using Wayland with no problem.
I’m using Lutris, and I did not reinstall it. I’m eagerly watching the self-contained installer that Linux Author is making, but I’m going to wait until it’s had the kinks ironed out.
I did, however, change the title bar colour! It fades from a friendly bright blue to calm dark blue, so problem not solved, but workaround achieved. 
Oh wait! I never actually tried that complex set of steps, above. Now that the bar isn’t an eyesore, though, I think I might leave well enough alone.
Sounds good! If at any point you feel like it, a reinstall should do the trick. Happy writing.
