Make the navigation bar and status bar transparent (edge-to-edge)

[MathisP75]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Both the navigation bar and the status bar are solid colors and do not allow for other elements to go under them, making the application feel less polished.

Describe the solution you'd like
Making the application display edge-to-edge content, as described here: https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/layout/edge-to-edge

Describe alternatives you've considered, if any
Not applicable.

Additional context
Example of an app handling edge-to-edge incorrectly (notice how the side menu goes under the navigation bar and the status bar):

Unfortunately this isn't as easy as you might think because of the WebView. Last time I tried the problem was that information about insets wasn't set correctly on the WebView, making it impossible for the frontend to adapt. That means content will end up behind the system navigation, which is especially problematic when using button navigation or when you have a tall status bar due to a camera/cutout. It looks like the bug is still unresolved: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/40699457.

(I thought we already had an issue for this, but can't find it.)

Ah well that sucks, it would have been neat. Let's hope Google does something about it.
