I would certainly like to see that contributed to playground so that all interested parties may contribute. Any timeframe on when someone can get the repository created?

I suggested Windows 7 task bar features a little while back, and I believe that there is a Windows counterpart to QMacPasteboardMime that needs replacing as well.

Windows supports states for a progress bar, like error or paused that result in a red or a yellow bar instead of the default green one. You can also see that in the task bar.
