feature request: more UI options (tab title color, window borders, and new tab animation)

[ravibrock]

Hi! I just started using Ghostty, and really like it so far. Definitely planning on daily driving it for the foreseeable future. That said, there were a few small things I noticed and was hoping to request them (especially if they're quick to implement):

• It would be nice if there were an option to change the color of the tab title (specifically with macos-titlebar-style = "tabs"). I was hoping to make it more gray rather than the current bright white. See image 1 for reference.
• If possible, there would be a way to toggle the gray window border--I think it's a little cleaner without; this isn't a huge deal though obviously. I know that it either doesn't exist or is optionally disabled on iTerm. See image 2 for reference.
• Disabling new tab/tab opening animations (specifically with the aforementioned MacOS titlebar style) would be amazing. I find it really distracting when the tab bar jitters/slides upon opening a new tab.

Thank you!

Reduce Motion Setting

• Go to System Settings → Accessibility → Display
• Enable Reduce Motion
• This setting reduces or disables animations across the system, including tab animations in many apps

Note: This might affect other animations on macOS, such as opening Mission Control or switching between workspaces.
