Fair point! The Quick Setup 6-Color System is actually the fastest and most recommended way to configure your input bar border color — and all theme colors — without touching CSS at all. Here is the complete picture of what the 6-color system controls and how it all connects.
Admin Panel → Branding → Customize → Quick Setup Set 6 colors for both Light and Dark themes independently, and GPTWeb automatically generates 50+ CSS variables from them. No code required.

So specifically for the input bar border color — that is driven by the Accent color (#2 above). Changing Accent in Quick Setup automatically updates --input-border and --theme-accent across both themes instantly. No CSS override needed. For even finer control, go to Branding → Customize → Light Colors or Dark Colors which exposes 78 individual color variables per theme (156 total), organized into categories including a dedicated Input category with 7 variables and a Border category with 3 variables.
