I have installed plank and noticed the transparent field with a distinct border (which is not only visible, windows even stick to it when dragged near) around it. Below a picture where I have highlighted a part of it. How to get rid of this effect? I have seen many screen shots of plank without this but switching themes in the settings doesn't seem to help. Nor could I find the option to disable it.

Not sure if you've figured this out, but in:

Settings Manager > Window Manager Tweaks > Compositor

uncheck "Show shadows under dock windows".

If you use picom, then edit ~/.config/picom/picom.conf and add "class_g = 'plank'" to the shadow_exclude list.
