Author About Visual Studio 2003 IDE "Open Project" dialog box

Hello. The situation looks like this.

I use Visual Studio .NET 2003 Enterprise Architect on Windows 2003 SP1
Enterprise.

Since my desktop was boring, I tried to spice it up by switching to a theme.
It made use of a true type font named "Lucida Grande." (from Mac OS X).

Among other things, this font is used for the "Icon" element. (Right-click
the desktop to bring up "Display Properties". Then click "Appearance" tab,
and then click "Advanced" button. You can find a list of configurable
elements there.)

I fired up the IDE, invoked the "Open Project" dialog box, but it looked
weird.

1. It stretched across the entire screen.

2. On the left, there were five icons - "History", "My Projects", "Desktop",
"Favorites" and "My Network Places", arranged vertically inside a rectangle.
Normally, this rectangle was just large enough to accommodate these icons.
However, its width became 5x of what it used to be.

3. Similarly, other UI elements on this dialog box were stretched.

Is it because of the font, or some other thing? Please help.

Thanks.
