Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a WebView2 DevTools window on Windows 11, using automatic accent color and enabling accent color on title bars and window borders. Compare the titlebar with the corresponding Edge DevTools window; done means the WebView2 DevTools titlebar obeys the Windows accent-color setting.
