I'm really afraid we're on a very slippery slope towards a very opinionated design system in the UA stylesheet for customizable select. The [design principle](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-forms-1/#basic-appearance-principles) is "The controls are recognizable and usable on their own without additional styles." I'd argue (perhaps strongly) that nothing about the double border makes this unrecognizable, or unusable. E.g. the OP says this "looks slightly unpleasant" which is a design choice, not something that affects usability. I'd lean more heavily on this point of the principles: "They do not have a strong voice & tone of their own, and are visually as simple as possible." -- GitHub Notification of comment by mfreed7 Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/13527#issuecomment-3928512609 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
