Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not a problem at all.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to pass an option for change the border color in hexadecimal format.
e.g: spotify_player --border-color=#ff44cc

Describe alternatives you've considered
None. Open to new solutions.

Additional context
I'm using spotify-player inside neovim in an embed terminal for handy access. spotify-player is using the neovim theme colors, but sometimes the border color is not the best looking, I'd like to be able to customize it passing the arg mentioned above. For sure this will help a lot of neovim users that we want to use this player embed.

Here's a screenshot. I'm thinking in write an article teaching how to use spotify-player embed in neovim.

Here an embed terminal with customized border color (really nice looking):

Hope you can take this request 🙏🏻

spotify_player already supports configuring border component style as described in https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/blob/master/docs/config.md#component-styles.

The format for custom RGB color is quite awkward to use right now: fg = { Rgb = { r = ..., g = ..., b = ... } }, which I'll update in a future release.

For your use case, you can add a new theme in theme.toml config file based on the default theme and modify the border component style as follows (#ff44cc -> RGB(255, 68, 204))

[[themes]]
name = "test"
[themes.component_style]
border = { fg = { Rgb = { r = 255, g = 68, b = 204 } } }

Update: for v0.16.1 onwards, you can use the hex string to configure component style's color

[[themes]]
name = "test"
[themes.component_style]
border = { fg = "#ff44cc" }
