Description
Some buttons that you can press appear as buttons on mouse hover, like rom status and unpause, but other buttons don't, like save slots or key priority, so you intuitively have no idea they can be pressed.
Then some non-buttons appear as buttons, for example the play/record icon, even tho you can't press it.
I tried looking into it and the code is utter mess, I was unable to figure it out.

Research direction
Start by tracing the BizHawk desktop status-bar controls and their hover or button rendering behavior; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Compare the listed pressable controls with the play/record icon, then make their visual affordances match their actual interactivity. Done means pressable controls look pressable and non-buttons do not.
