@lorenzodallavecchia I'm not totally sure, but could you maybe mean "Add a setting to enable the using the Accent Color for the titlebar #1963"?

Thanks for the swift reply @zadjii-msft .
I was expecting the accent color to be used automatically (as per the system setting), but a setting to enable it would be fine too. I will track #1963.
