Hi

A simple

#navigation {
   margin-top: -1px;
}

solves that problem for me and also looks fine in safari (and yes, it is 
a bit of a hack...)


The colour issue seems to be a problem with the png-libraries, or 
similar. The colour you used in the css does not exactly match the one 
in the .png images, and Safari and Firefox seem to "round" them to a 
different colour. Using Seashore I just filled in the right colour 
(#B1BACC). Things look fine now in both browsers. I attached the changed 
images.


Hope this helps


Michael
