here's an idea, take away the glow of the background, put on a shaddow of only 1 or 2 pixels and make the direction 90o. I think that will look better, but you may have to experiment.
Also I think the border is a little to high, try using a bevel of only a few pixels, say 2 or 3 and reduce the softening. But its hard to judge witout being able to expriment
