Comment (by iammattthomas):

 selects.png is a comparison of the select element in most browsers we
 support. (Didn't mean to upload that diff, but oh well.)

 As Mel mentioned, the select styles make a pretty noticeable difference in
 usability because of how small the defaults are on OS X. And while
 browsers do some very strange things with that arrow, and there's no good
 way of customizing it just yet, it's still a more consistent look across
 browsers than using the OS defaults.

 I'm going to apply the style declarations from input elements to selects,
 as they achieve a pretty consistent look in most browsers and don't have
 any adverse affects in the browsers that don't allow more customization.
