The Reconcile Finish button is not the only button which is inactive when
it's named function cannot be performed.
I think it would be confusing if one button's appearance took a different
style than others.

Already, in some cases,  the icon or button is invisible when it is
non-functional,  and in other cases it is grayed out.

GnuCash has the further confusion that some buttons change their function
depending on where in the transaction view the cursor happens to be
sitting,  which could be very confusing to persons with visual impairment.
 The previous sentence was changed by the spell checker and now it confused
me so much that I will just leave it a mess.

One of the buttons that change is the delete line/transaction button.

I would ask for a developer to make the program behavior generally more
consistent,  naming as many examples of inconsistency as possible.
