If any of you continue to have problems with the Quartz UI feel free to try my Haven UI.
I based it heavily on the Quartz UI (much props to Statix!). I added on easier-to-use modifications, auto-updating, frequent updates (to match VI's XML changes as they occur), etc.
You can check out Haven here:
