Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19582.1001]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.10.761.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Set Windows theme to Light.
  2. In profiles.json, set "requestedTheme": "dark" and "showTabsInTitlebar": true
  3. Focus on the window.

Expected behavior

No white borders, regardless of Windows theme color. (Like as VSCode)

Actual behavior

Though https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/4817 fixes the white border issue for Dark mode in Windows, the border still presents with the combination of dark theme for Terminal settings and light theme for Windows.
