The latest update to Raspbian, version 2016-05-13, adds just that, a Bluetooth UI in the form of an indicator/plugin for the LXPanel of the LXDE desktop environment, which also supports Bluetooth Audio. But the Bluetooth Indicator is not the only thing to get excited for in the new Raspbian 2016-05-03 release, which also adds a new graphical utility called SD Card Copier, allowing users to migrate their Raspbian installations to new cards or just keep a backup, the Geany IDE (Integrated Development Environment), and the pigpio library.
