I smell LLM... and 44MB compressed for a mouse control panel applet (at least it's not an Electron app?) is still quite disturbing and a reminder of just how inefficient software has become.

If you can solve the cross-platform GUI problem without Electron, be my guest. This is a perfectly acceptable app size for a modern macOS or Windows system.
