The title boarders on published applications on our Windows Server 2019 are grey and blocky.

How can this be changed for users?

GUI tweaks can be tricky to figure out. There are many ways of going about doing it. You'll have to figure out which works best. I'll list out a few:

Find a theme that works best and set it in Group Policy. For example, I have a legacy app that requires more of a Windows 2000 look than 2019. I have a GPO setting of User Config> Policies> Administrative Templates> Control Panel> Personalization:
- Force a Specific visual style or force Windows Classic = enabled
- Load a specific theme / Path to theme file = C:\Windows\Resources\Ease of Access Themes\basic.theme
Download a freeware tool called RegFromApp. Open a new process to Control Panel. Find your setting and toggle it. Close Control Panel. It spits out what .reg keys what registry changes were made by the app. Then you can apply it globally VIA Group Policy for users.
Sometimes just Googling the setting with "registry" at the end gives results of what .reg key controls the settings.
