Start up with the new theme. Browse away for a while and make sure nothing tempremental happens. Then go through '''all''' menus to check that the theme is complete.

Download an old version of an add-on and then check for updates through Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Software Update. Check all the icons are there under View -> Toolbars -> Customise. Make sure all icons are present in Help. Does the throbber throb?
