> Can you elaborate on why that's inconsistent with <button>? I'd expect buttons to also have square corners by default like with appearance: none (again, to be consistent with the other controls). Ignoring the color input vertical aligmnent weirdness, the below is a rough approximation of CSS forms with the different selects, and button-like elements. So select *is* consistent with buttons in being rounded. <img width="606" height="111" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/253ac025-6975-49da-bf81-ce8515dfc952" /> > Rounded corners are a decorative element, not something essential. I also want to push back on this. The shape of an element is actually pretty important as part of recognition. It's why we changed switch to be rounded, why we shrunk range's track, why we made radios round and checkboxes square. I agree it's not as essential for button-likes compared to say radio vs checkbox, but it's still pretty important for the overal coherency of your form controls. -- GitHub Notification of comment by lukewarlow Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/13520#issuecomment-3923097512 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
