Help, Styles Team II!

There are several submitted styles which need testing and have needed it for ages and the few people doing that in dreamscapes can't do it all on their own. Baggyeyes and Turlough have been beyond awesome but it's just two people and we need more feedback, more resolutions, more font sizes, more browsers, etc. so please, if you can, help out.

Hopefully, this post will get more answers than my last one. :/

Edit: What's involved?

* We currently have four styles which need testing: http://dreamscapes.dreamwidth.org/tag/needs+testing
One of them, Strata, has a link to a preview. You can click on the link and navigate through the various pages to see if anything looks odd (boxes overlapping, text not displayed correctly, something odd with colors, etc.). Then comment to report what you've noticed or tp say that everything looks fine to you. It's always a good idea to mention which browser/resolution (and sometimes font size) you saw the layout in.
Otherwise you need to install the layout. I can explain if you're not familiar with this process.

* We routinely need people to test color themes. What's really important is to make sure text is always visible; it can happen that there isn't enough contrast to make it easily readable and it's ok to politely say that to the designer; it doesn't imply that you expect them to change their style. Some will, some won't.

I've been trying to get the Crossover 8.0.1 Mac thingy to install Internet Explorer 8 on my iMac. I need it for so much - Drupal stuff, and this. But the dang thing just won't take. Does anybody have a lower version of IE install.exe they can toss up on a box account?

VMWAREfusion is much easier to use than Crossover, IME. But you can get all versions of IE from oldversion: http://www.oldversion.com/Internet-Explorer.html
