step4, restart the Intellij IDEA

then you can look like this UI:

On macOS it is easy to do this (with any Laf). There is a client property apple.awt.fullWindowContent that extends the Swing root pane into the macOS title bar. The FlatLaf Demo 2.3 demonstrates this feature:

This is the old FlatLaf Demo without apple.awt.fullWindowContent:

And here is a guide to use this in own applications: https://www.formdev.com/flatlaf/macos/
