Description

### The following changes would go a long way to freshen things up for Simplenote and make it look in line with newer Android design:

~ The app needs to be updated to be based on **Material Design 3.**

~ Android 12+ **Dynamic Theming** support.

~ The **Android Navigation Bar** should be transparent and content should be drawn below it.

~ **Status Bar** should be transparent.

~ Android 13+ **Themed Icon** support.

Research direction

Begin by breaking the requested Android changes into separate scopes: Material Design 3, dynamic theming, transparent system bars with content behind navigation, and themed icons. Review the existing UI, theme, window, and launcher-icon configuration, then confirm supported Android versions and current behavior. Done means each requested design change is implemented and verified on the relevant Android versions.
