If you want round corners, see if you can get something that looks
fine from http://www.cssbuttongenerator.com/ .  I tried, but ended up
with things that look too ugly.  (I also tried to use *just* the round
corner attributes, but that makes the browsers I tried switch to a
button rendering that doesn't look like a normal button.)

Yes, I know.  What I did for that is to change the color when focus
moves in.  So if you do click the platform to see "what's
unavailable", it gets colored as "available" (in black), and then
switches back to gray when focus moves out.  Any other idea?
