Hello,
I've taken a previous comment about screenshots seriously. They will be up
in a little bit.
The layout widgets are actually all platform-independent. Initially, I was
relying on the layout widgets in GTK, but it was too hard to get feature
parity. For a OSX port, layout will be easy, but it won't match any
platform specific guidelines without more work.
