The proposed visual update looks beautiful with the theme’s background color extending to the title bar. However, the contrast with the title text isn’t accessible in the current version. This will need adjustments to meet WCAG standards. 
It's even worse when the window is out of focus: And some themes are worse than others: Edit: Windows 10On Windows 10, the title looks fine when focused but out of focus, the title (and buttons) are not readable.

On Windows 10, switching theme doesn't immediately update the title bar color. A restart is necessary.

The contrast issue on macOS can only be solved by forcing the application in light mode, as the color of the text of the title bar is controlled by the OS |
- Disable system look & feel on macOS for readability - Cleaned unnecessary space - Cleaned finished TODO
If that's not too much work, I'd say let's see how the re-opening of the editor feels. Alternatively, how about we inform the user that the full change will take effect after they restart Processing? Could be a pop up message. |
Here's the first pull-request adding a new Gradle build system to the Processing IDE.
The GitHub Actions will create distributable binaries for macOS (x64, aarch64), windows (x64) and linux (x64, aarch64). The other platforms will need their own CI/CD system, but I think the repo will already build on the other platforms.
In terms of compatibility I've come pretty far but I'm sure there is some functionality that I have missed.

This will require a custom runner setup as jetpack compose does not cross-build
We can setup the custom runner on Hertzner as they offer arm64 vps' for a low price
To consider
In any case, this pull request does not break the existing Ant build system so we can either wait with the merge or we can have the Gradle version available as a preview.
The bundle size has increased quite a bit since we are shipping a JRE and a JDK instead of using the JDK to run the IDE

P.S. this also includes the pre-processor as a Maven library, so merging this PR will add processing:java:prepocessor as a Maven package
Fixes #924
