Great theme! But... the fonts don't work and my language toolbar disappeared, I'm using Win XP Pro SP3. The most interesting part is that I've installed the same theme on my notebook and everything works fine.

When I try install the Styler Toolbar "First Install Me. msi" I get "Can only be installed in Windows XP" and does not install. I am running Windows XP SP2 64-bit. I have run the xttheme.dll patch already.
Thanks
