I'm only a user, not a amarok developer, but I have to agree. They look nice 
but out of place with the current amarok style. I think the main problem with 
the buttons is that they are round and stand out too much. It would look much 
better if they were integrated into a common background. Have a look at my 
mockups.
More boring than the other ones, but I think there would be less people who 
don't like it.

Regards,
Mathias
