The problem is,t that IE doesn't support full-blown transparency in
PNG images, it just supports the 1-bit transparency we know from GIF
images. The beautiful images shipped with PhpWiki uses transparency to
blend into any background --- if you change your background color to
blue (yuck! :-), then the edges of the images will remain
anti-aliased.

The W3 has some great pages where you can read about this defect in
IE, such as this page where you can test your browser's ability to
display PNG images with transparency:

  http://www.w3.org/Graphics/PNG/inline-alpha.html

If it still bothers you that the images look strange, then you could
remove the transparency from them, by blending them into a fixed
background-color. If you're interested, then I've done that for a
white background and put the result here:

If you need a different background-color, then let me know.
