Hello Christopher, Thank you for trying out the EA build and sharing your feedback. It's great to hear that no significant issues have been observed. Could you please provide more details about the color difference issue? If possible - a reproducer program, screenshots (from both the EA build and the regular JavaFX build you use), and system information would be very helpful. You can update this information on https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8331413

There were a few small color differences looking at it, but I see in the tracker that is already a known issue. Our application doesn't use any advanced rendering features where performance is critical, so I can't say anything about the performance difference. For the normal basic user interface, it felt the same as before.

Known issues and pending tasks are captured on JBS and can be accessed using the filter provided on the Metal EA page[https://jdk.java.net/javafxmetal<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/jdk.java.net/javafxmetal__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!OB0_Ka6H7lqfISPUk785Wi6xfQezTJfpi40EzbYP1X9-Guoom4EejYGukVq3Xo2eB0WddeTKenutWmak_kryjvk$>]. Before reporting a new bug, please review the existing issues to avoid duplicates. Important Notes: 1. This is a macOS-specific feature, so only two macOS-specific bundles are provided. 2. The default rendering pipeline is set to Metal. Using other pipelines (e.g., -Dprism.order=es2 or -Dprism.order=sw) will result in error. 3. It is recommended to use JDK 24 or later. 4. Optionally, enable Metal validations while testing, e.g.: export METAL_DEVICE_WRAPPER_TYPE=1, export METAL_SHADER_VALIDATION=1 5. Must disable all the active Metal validations when testing for performance, e.g.: export METAL_DEVICE_WRAPPER_TYPE=0, export METAL_SHADER_VALIDATION=0 6. Issue behavior may vary across different hardware. So, please provide detailed information, such as the output of "java -Dprism.verbose=true", when reporting or discussing issues. 7. Refer: Run HelloWorld using JavaFX SDK[https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/#install-javafx<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/*install-javafx__;Iw!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!OB0_Ka6H7lqfISPUk785Wi6xfQezTJfpi40EzbYP1X9-Guoom4EejYGukVq3Xo2eB0WddeTKenutWmakrzPefUs$>] We look forward to your feedback.
