This isn't a border, it's an outline. You can turn it off in the Breeze decoration config dialog.

Awesome,  thanks, that worked! It's in System Settings => Colors & Themes => Windows Decorations => Edit Breeze Theme (Icon) => Shadows and Outline => Outline intensity => Off

I guess this is new feature? some people said it's not possible and some didn't like it aswell, see https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1133p4i/how_to_disable_window_outline_in_breeze/

Now for me this is all good but it seems if someone uses different decoration such as Oxygen or Plastik they still would have this issue since those don't have such setting.

The outline is only shown by the Breeze decoration.

That's not true, see my previously attached screenshot "System settings border", that black outline comes from Plastik. But yeah it's not present for Oxygen for some reason I thought I saw it there too.
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2024-03-08 22:52:58 UTC
Then Plastik has the same thing, I guess. The point is, this is per-window-decoration theme; it's not a universal thing.
