    > How would you suggest implementing a look for pressed and unpressed

    The look is fine, it is how it is used.  The pressed button look is,
    in other GUI's, used when the button is pressed, i.e. on mouse-down
    not on mouse-over.

So you're saying that simply removing the mouse-face would make
it better?

    A change in mouse cursor type when the mouse is over a button is more
    common in other application.

Emacs has no facility for that, but it might not be too hard to add one
by modifying the code that now does mouse highlighting.
