I am so freaking sick of IE

Can anyone tell me why this page and its images load great in Firefox, but are like one shade off in IE?

Can anyone please convince them to get their &*^#$ straight down there?

On the "view our video" ribbon, the background is taken from the bg.png which is the background for the page. It's directly from the source. How freaking odd.

I got it... Apparantly Microsoft thinks that PNG images should be darker than JPG images, when really they shouldn't. Bah.

Now the images get stopped at the preloader... and it won't rollover anymore. I seriously loathe IE.

Try not using images for absolutely everything, it will make things much easier, not to mention more effecient.

Yes, use less images, but use PNG's!

An explaination of why this happens is here. Basically, Photoshop adds some gamma garbage which IE renders.

You can use pngcrush to remove the extra gamma information. (it lowers file size too!) Unfortunatly though pngcrush can only be used by command line, if you can't handle that you can download this nifty program instead which does it for you. Just browse, select, done!

EDIT: nevermind.

Interesting program, although, does the crusher reduce the quality of the file?

No, it just optimises it.

The whole site isn't even 200kb. I'm not worried about it.
