Liquid Glass, Material 3, and a Lot of Plumbing

It has been one of those weeks where the diff is bigger than the headline. The headline is short — Codename One now ships modern native themes: an iOS “liquid glass” look and an Android Material 3 look, bundled into the iOS and Android ports, on by default in the Playground, and selectable from a brand new menu in the simulator. The diff behind that headline is several thousand lines across the platform ports, the simulator, the GUI plumbing, and a small army of screenshot tests.
