I would suggest to not worry about such details: we’re not making such changes for the LTS, and PUI should be gone before the next release.

Better to spend time improving the launcher’s styling, by playing with Style.qml and the basic controls, if you’re interested (ToggleSwitch, PopupChoice, etc)

Kind regards,
