Agree. Is this something that blocks inclusion of the new toolbar or is this
more of a long term vision that can be worked towards after an eventual merge
of my toolbar?

This toolbar has a clean interface between GUI and logic so it shouldn't be too
hard to add support for other OSes with the same GUI code. Unfortunately I lack
both the bandwidth and hardware to do the job myself at this time.

The new toolbar has an interface selector :)
