My apologies then.
I didn't come to Linux until somewhat recently (6 years?)

Anyway, it was my impression that Zyn was unmaintained for a while and 
because of that Yoshimi was created.
Then Zyn got a maintainer that was actively fixing things so the Yoshimi 
fork just doesn't seem as critical as before.

Maybe I'm missing something here...?

The latest stable one has it at least.

I don't think having customizable options is the purpose of that UI.
The author of that mockup designed a new layout for Zyn that would fit 
all the dialogs into a single window, which I find very nice.
I'd implement that UI myself if I wasn't so busy with other projects...
