You can use style sheets to modify the list button and the box.
Alot of great resources out here at:
http://css.nu/pointers/bugs.html
It has been awhile since I have read that particular article and even longer
since I actually modified a list button.
But I have modified them in color, height, width, etc....
NOTE: If I remember correctly NN will have problems with it so you need to
wrap your property in a <div> and then modify the <div> tag. It should work
in NN 4.5 and IE 4 on up. NN 4.07 might have trouble I can't say for sure.

Because you list boxs are picking up the colored background it gives the
visual impression that the widths are different.
Have you considered using a <div> tag to hold each list box and then set a
backgound image for each box??
Or even using the <div id=xxx>and then setting the #xxx {position: absolute;
left: ?; top: ?;}

no exerpt as I have only been at this a short time, but these ideas and a
lot more are at the link I posted above.
The newgroup is exceptional as it has several CSS heavy weights in it.
