We will try.
May we ask how do you find the display of the same bitmaps on buttonbar?

Using the images in the zip I notice the same thing. If I edit the .bmp with pixelformer and save them with Premultiplied alpha checked it looks ok.
Here is original Cancella.bmp and Plus.bmp

Here is the option selected and then the new .bmp images

Photoshop is great but it is not always the easiest on bitmaps.
Here are a couple of options I read about doing this with Photoshop

One is to apply the alpha as transparency to a layer and use the Layer > Matting > Remove Black Matte function. Unfortunately this doesn't work when using a layer mask, the mask needs to be applied.

My preferred method would be to apply the alpha to the layer as a layer mask. Copy the alpha and paste it into a new layer above this masked layer. Clip the RGB version of the alpha to the masked layer and set its blend mode to Divide.

Seems more complicated and more steps so I use Pixelformer for simple stuff. I also use IconWorks and PhotoImpact.
