So I don't like having the system bell ring when the PuTTY receives a bell control character, so I've set it to "visual bell." This, however, causes the entire window to flash which is quite jarring and annoying. Does anyone know of a "gentle" visual bell that just flashes, say, the outermost column/row, or just the menu bar or something?

There doesn't seem to be such an option. From the command's own help:
But PuTTY is open source; even if you're not able or inclined to make such a change yourself, you could request it.
