The error is caused by a a bug in the Java runtime from Sun Microsystems. You can avoid it by setting the Java system property com.oxygenxml.no.xp.theme to the value true in the startup script, that is adding the startup parameter -Dcom.oxygenxml.no.xp.theme=true. If you start Oxygen XML Author with the author.bat script just add the parameter-Dcom.oxygenxml.no.xp.theme=true to the java command in the script. If you start Oxygen XML Author from the Start menu shortcut add the same parameter on a new line in the file [oXygen-install-folder]\author.vmoptions .
