Messed up design?

Noticed some AS pages now have info stashed to the left. You probably just need to set the song list width to a constant pix value to fix this. Check Doofgoblin's page

Also, the new icons are nice but somewhat crash with pages with dark background, all focus is put on the buttons and not the surrounding info. Good idea to have an alternative button set for dark pages?

Actually - this is due to a migration to a larger width. We are 'locked' down to a design for 800x600 and I'm in the process of expanding the site to a 1024 width. So I'm setting variables for various widths on the site so I can control the width, it seems the removal of the width of the songs column get messed up only in IE - (man IE sucks) - so I'll set that width back to see if I can take care of it during this transition.

I posted for feedback on the buttons here on the forums - I had a grey set, black set and white set - and most feedback came back for the white ones. Having an alternate set for dark would be nice, but it's not something I can apply to the whole site - so it's not something I really want to apply to just artist pages. Why can't I do it on the whole site? Because portions of the code are published to flat files to speed things up, which means the code for the buttons is published in those flat files. There may be some way to control the buttons via CSS, so I'll have to experiment.
Otherwise, the only option is for me to redo all the buttons in gray so they are more neutral.
If you have any suggestions, fire away

where else?
BTW - IE really does suck, if you want to have a better browsing experience, Firefox is most definately a better beast.

ok  how about now
I used the following javascript and CSS to change the opacity of the images:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function changeOpacity(imageobject, opacity){
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")!=-1
&&parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>=5)
imageobject.style.MozOpacity=opacity/100
else if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft")!= -1
&&parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>=4)
imageobject.filters.alpha.opacity=opacity
}
</script>
<img src="yourImage.gif" style="filter:alpha(opacity=50); -moz-opacity:0.5"
onmouseover="changeOpacity(this, 100)" onmouseout="changeOpacity(this, 30)" />
right now it's at 55% and raises up to 100 when you mouse over them. So it no longer hilites green, but it should blend better than the way it was.
Is the opacity working for you? I tried it in IE6 and FF1.5
