So, in this particular case, there is no primary action anymore. Left 
click will always bring up the Palette, then it is up to the user to decide.

Let's look at another case: the Activity Palettes in the Frame (see 
activity_palette_1.png). The primary action there is to resume the 
Activity. When you click on the button that activity is resumed. The 
action is drawn right below the label. That is where I would put it as 
well. But in this case, I think the separator should then be drawn below 
the primary option (see activity_palette_2.png).

Doing the same for the Volume Palette will look odd 
(volume_palette_2.png) as we have also a separator below the 'Remove' 
option as this is the Palette content (the progress bar showing how much 
space is left). Three horizontal lines in one Palette is just too much.

On a related note: actually we should show the 'Show content' option in 
the Volume Palette in the Journal as well. I think it is right to leave 
the primary action there, clicking on the icon it is to switch views. 
But the primary action should be present in the Palette as well, same as 
we do in the Activity Palettes in the Frame where the primary action is 
'Resume' and it is shown as well in the Palette.
