If the goal is to have Emacs take advantage of its rendering 
capabilities when run as a graphical application so that it doesn't just 
look like a terminal window, another option might be to use icons for 
each element in the U:--- thing. SVGs would be easy to scale for various 
resolutions/pixel densities and still ensure that they're relatively 
easy to click. It may also be possible to make icons that are more 
"obvious"; I doubt most novices could tell you what each of the 
characters in U:--- mean.

On the other hand, that's significantly more effort than other 
solutions, unless someone happens to have appropriate icons sitting 
around waiting to be used.
