It behaves slightly different (on mouse over) so it'll look just
slightly different (having the stripe, vs no stripe)

That said, making it look different is another thing. You could also
say it's not evident enough to the user that the stripe is a clickable
target.
I'm ok with that.

Let's see what the feed back of other people - if any - is, then look
for improvements on the idea and fixes to the shortcomings.
