Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.207
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Daily build from 7/4/2019

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

Just run WindowsTerminal and make sure it is the active window. I also have the dark theme configured on my system with a Blue accent color.

Expected behavior

The window title bar area not covered by tabs should reflect my configured accent color - Blue like this:

BTW the above is from the store version of WT so something has changed for the worse.

Actual behavior

The window title bar area not covered by tabs is black:

Also, not a fan on the rounded corners. Every other Window on my system uses my accent color (and not rounded corners) e.g.:

File Explorer:

Notepad:

You get the idea.
