Description of the new feature/enhancement

We should add a setting option in profiles.json to change color or completely remove the white window border. Currently(v0.7) it can only be done by changing it in system settings which affects all applications.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Change your accent color to black and select the checkbox for show accent colors on title bars and window borders from the color settings.

Yep -- we're not likely to add custom border colors when we're actively trying to just get rid of the borders. /dup #3425.
