   `sun.java2d.d3d` and `sun.java2d.noddraw` are not yet set), which disables
   usage of Windows Direct3D (DirectX) onscreen surfaces. Component rendering
   still uses Direct3D. (issue #887)
-- FlatLaf window decorations on Windows: Fixed possible application freeze when
-  using custom component that overrides `Component.contains(int x, int y)` and
-  invokes `SwingUtilities.convertPoint()` (or similar) from the overridden

+- FlatLaf window decorations:
+  - Iconify/maximize/close buttons did not fill whole title bar height, if some
