Regarding coloring...
You still can't block in UI code, right? You don't know whether you're on a virtual thread or the UI thread (even if its virtual) by design. You still have to bifurcate your APIs into blocking and non-blocking, don't you? Virtual threads will help you keeping the CPU fed but it won't handle separating UI and non-UI work, or know when a frame deadline ends.
Have there been Swing specific updates to deal with that?
