Expanded from Elizabeth's accessibility analysis

New 3-pane makes all the buttons on quick filter bar focusable - that's great. However, their focused or pressed state is almost undiscoverable and needs some love. Also, all of these buttons should be flat & borderless on Windows when not pressed (as on TB 102).

Richard?

Actual (see screenshot):
- Focused button not discoverable (`Starred` button with very faint grey border)
- Pressed button not discoverable (`Tags` button is hardly distinct from others)
- Unpressed buttons stand out from the entire flat UI with needless border

Expected
- Clear and consistent app-wide focus distinction (thick blue border)
- Clear contrast between unpressed (flat, borderless) vs. pressed (can then keep the inside shadow) as in TB 102.
- Unpressed buttons should be flat and borderless (as seen on TB 102) for
 - less saliency when unpressed (calm UI)
 - better distinction against pressed state
 - ux-consistency with our overall flat design (e.g. buttons on Places toolbar)
 - ux-consistency with Windows OS
