I'm using a solid black background, 'Light' colour setti= ng and auto-selected accent colour in Preferences. I've also enabled the acce= nt colour on title bars and window borders checkbox. I still have problems wi= th non-compliant "I'll draw it myself" apps that don't use the stock furniture but it works for mintty at least. I'm baffled as to why a UI designer would introduce a feature that makes i= t difficult if not impossible to see the edges of windows in the first place but that's Microsoft all over. :-S
