It turns out that this has nothing to do with the theme after all, but is probably part of the updated Gmail interface; I checked and now see it with the default theme as well, even on free gmail accounts.
In this article from May https://www.computerworld.com/article/3269415/email/25-tips-for-getting-the-most-out-of-the-new-gmail-features.html the blue line is clearly visible on the image under “Interface enhancements”
I wonder whether you have opted out of the new interface, and are still using the ‘classic’ look and feel.

Hi Alexander,
Thank you for the reply and the link to the article. I do see the line int he article photo. but am not able to get it to appear no matter what I have done to my settings, themes or display density, and I am using the new interface. Very frustrating.

Sometimes the internet is our friend! After searching a bit, I think that the blue line is tied to keyboard shortcuts, which I did not have enabled. I turned the feature on and the blue line appeared. Thank you for your assistance, Alexander!
