Not currently.  On GTK there is a native widget that is used for this. 
On the other platforms it is just a simple generic implementation using 
a button and a static line.  I don't think it would have been that much 
extra work to make the generic version more like the GTK version, but 
the author didn't seem to think it was worth it.

If you have C++ skills then I expect that a patch for this would be 
accepted.  Otherwise it probably wouldn't take too much to make a 
Python-only version.
