The State button in Customize is not a button but a pulldown list
(menu). That is, it opens a menu; it does not effect an action. It
should not look like the other buttons. A pulldown menu label
("button") often has a small triangle next to the text, to indicate
that it is a pulldown menu.
I've seen those small triangles. They are a pain in the neck to put
the mouse on. We certainly won't do that.
FWIW, the triangle I'm talking about is part of the pull-down menu label.
There is no need to put the mouse on the triangle itself - just as now, the
mouse works anywhere on the label ("State") or the triangle - that is,
anywhere on the "button". The triangle (or maybe a "V") is just an
indication that the label hides a menu.
At any rate, as I said, pull-down lists are a bad idea altogether, whether
or not they have some extra annotation (e.g. triangle) to indicate that they
are menus.
I do not want to consider changing this now.
