GMail Themes: What it Looks Like on Different Browser?

Previously I post on the Gmail new feature: Gmail themes and there is a comment that said maybe Gmail themes won’t be available for Internet Explorer user.

Curious with it then I decided to run Gmail on 3 different browsers on my machine. So here is the result.

gmail_themes_on_internet_explorer_8beta_64bit 
Gmail themes on Internet Explorer 8 Beta 64bit

gmail_themes_on_google_chrome
Gmail themes on Google Chrome

gmail_themes_on_minefield_64bit
Gmail themes on Minefield 64bit

As you can see Chrome and Minefield display themes as it supposed to be seen but on IE it really suck.

See the pencil, coffee stain and the flowers picture cut off. And there is no darker background to make the top menu stand out.

I don’t understand this, why can’t just Microsoft people create a standard browser as others do. I believe it is not they are not capable of doing so, or maybe it is just another marketing tactic even though I don’t know what it is.

On the latest IE 8 still didn’t show much improvement. Why did they care to make incognito function (called InPrivate Browsing in IE) and some other stilly function that only a small percentage of user will use while they can’t even render standard CSS properly.
