i applied a custom color scheme to hexchat but the border is still
white, how would I change it so that it matches?

On Linux I found I could change it by setting the GTK2 theme using the
environment variable `$GTK2_RC_FILES`. So I have this in my
`hexchat.desktop` file:

    Exec=env GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Mint-Y-Dark-
Red/gtk-2.0/gtkrc hexchat --existing %U

Not possible in Windows due to an old GTK library from what I remember

Possible, with caveats:
