The only reason the icons are the size and shape they are is because I don't know how to make glasslike buttons so I borrowed a few and pasted stuff onto them.

The buttons are easily replaceable though.  And soon I'm going to experiment with grouping them so they're easier to figure out.

It's faster in Safari.  Instead of the mouseover delay that happens with "alt", "title" shows up almost immediately.
