Terminal: Changing the title bar color in accordance with the terminal's background.
Description of the new feature/enhancement
It would be great if the backgroud color also applied to the title bar, for example, this is the terminal with a custom background color:
This is how it should look with the added feature (supposing the thick white border issue was fixed as well):
I think the tabs color doesn't look the best either, I don't have any ideas but maybe adding some opacity to them would look better...
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

This looks like the inverse of #3310.

@DHowett Interesting! What if both perferences were added as a boolean option? But also with the ability to change the one left (either the tab or the title bar) to a prefered color.
For example, I'd love for the tab to take my system's accent color:
Also, another suggestion is that I think it'd look great if the tabs were (just like in Microsoft Edge) attached to the upper side of the window:

If we're going to do this, we have to figure out how it works with split panes. For now, it's backlogged and marked as requiring a spec. Thanks!

The Active pane could set the window background colour - maybe with a short 500ms colour transition animation

If the title bar takes the same color as the window, the active tab should be rounded at the bottom too. No point for it to float midair with a squared bottom.

The padding would need to be adapted to account for there being no gap between the console background and the window edge

I'm yanking this out of the spec tracker, since this is incorporated in the spec for #3327, over in #5772. Thanks!
