Some applications use buttons labelled [>>] and [<<] for more and less.

I agree.


BTW, I think the first [Hide] button should hide the state entirely,
rather than wasting a line to print the current dummy state.


And while we are at it -- why doesn't customize utilize the tool-bar
(when available and enabled) rather than using the current in-text
buttons (which always scroll out of view when looking at a
customization group):

 [Set for Current Session] [Save for Future Sessions]
 [Reset] [Reset to Saved Erase Customization]  [Finish]
