Yes, we build the Windows and Mac version from the same C++/Qt code base. This has a lot of advantages for us and the end user. But it also means it is difficult to get 100% fidelity to the Mac look and feel.

The minor misalignments of form elements is a Qt issue and a source of considerable annoyance to me as well. I wish they would fix it. I may be able to use a stylesheet to tweak it slightly.

What do you consider the standard gear cog. The one in the ‘finder’ tool bar?

I will make a note of the greying of the disclosure arrow. It might be an easy fix.

Lots of ideas for major new features in v3.
