Internet Explorer is known not to handle PNG's transparency all that well. For some reason, star_off.png seems to have been switched to a 256 color palette in order to get the transparency, but star_on.png wasn't and / or the transparency wasn't included in the color palette.

I'm attaching a version that does have a transparent background in IE ( tested with IE 6 )

Does your new image work in other browsers (specially FireFox)?

It's a standard PNG that should work everywhere. To be completly safe, I've tested it with : Gecko 1.7 ( Fx 1.0.x ), Gecko 1.8 ( Fx 1.5.x and to be released Fx 2.x ), and Gecko's trunk ( what should become Fx 3 in quite some time ). I've also tested it with Opera 9.

If you want me to test it with another browser, feel free to ask :-)

More informations on what I did : I simply opened the PNG with The Gimp, switched it to indexed colors choosing a 256-colors index, and saved it back into PNG - restricting to 256-colors can sometime result in quality lost, but here, that's 256 shades of yellow, which should be enough to accurately render the star.
