My understanding is that requests to give Zyn a modern UI fall on deaf

Completely false.
That wasn't my experience when I mentioned it several years ago. Maybe
things are getting better.
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 current Zyn release already has had a small UI change by using NTK
instead of FLTK.
See http://non.tuxfamily.org/wiki/NtkPatches
This has been merged a few months ago.
Hmm, OK, what version of Zyn has that?
The latest stable one has it at least.
There were also talks about doing a completely new UI.
This concept so far is the most widely praised for this:

Looks nice. Is the screen fully resizable, font size customizable,
etc? With multi desktop environments, I can easily give Zyn/Yoshimi
it's own full desktop.
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...
