Because my eyes are always more focussed on the transport-buttons than on the time/status-display, i think it would be great if the current active transport-button (play, pause, stop, record and repeat) just would stay in pushed state (to indicate the current action too)!
I've done a skin for energyXT sometime ago, there you can see it:

Then there would be no need to draw this (imo ugly) "glowing" border around the (activated) record and repeat-symbols too. In the default windows-colors, the pushed state uses a 2x2 pixel grid of grey and white (like windows scrollbar-track background).
I think this would be useful for all track-controls (mute, solo ...) too and would give reaper a more modern flat look!
