It may be associated with whatever theme you are using. If not already, try one of the Windows default themes to see if the issue is still there.

It's all default, I am surprised that there aren't any more users that find the right side of the taskbar too dim for them. I tried the lighter colored theme but it didn't lighten up the dim right side of the taskbar.

It it like this?
Or could it be the inverse of that, depending on your settings?

Jeez. I didn't realize that there was any way to produce a taskbar that is anything other than uniform.

I use mixed light/dark modes. Using dark accent colors, if there is any difference in portions of taskbar I can not detect it. Maybe some of you can see it. This is a theme I built myself within a Windows 7 VM.

You can turn your taskbar clear with TranslucentTB, if you wanted.
You can get it at MS Store.
