In mac the maximize window button on my sketch is disabled. I would like to enable it.  
I tried surface.setResizable(true) but it doesn’t enable the button, only allows to manually resize the window.  
How do I do this?

The following works on my Mac OS. The button is activated and it works as expected when clicked (Processing 4.0.1).

```auto
void setup() {
  size(400,400);
  background(209);
  surface.setResizable(true);
}

void draw() {
  
}

```
