Is it possible to make the clock icons seem more joined to the combo dialogues? My worry is that that there is no visual difference between a toolbar button that a user can click on to trigger an action or palette vs. an icon used only as a label. I guess ideally the clock icons would be placed (at a slightly smaller size) inside the left of the combo rounded grey rectangle. Not sure if we can do such a thing in gtk but thought I would mention it in case someone knows how.

Hi Gary. Thanks for your comments.  What do you think about the asterisk?

I don't know how to integrate more the icons with the combo box, but
in this case, we can just add a separator between the two pairs of
icon and combo.

Cheers,
