There are aspects of the improvement that are in cross-platform code (most of them in fact) but there is a problem on windows that makes many of them moot (because we cannot seem to reliably detect when the OS is in dark mode). So, IMO, the external perspective is probably that things are better on non-windows platforms overall (and just remain silent about windows).
