The errors probably stems from a problem with the gui objects that
does not display on your system.
See: http://oeyvind.teks.no/results/applications/partikkelapplications.htm
(bottom of the page) for a screenshot of how it should look.

Could you send me a complete console print ? (everything printed in
the console when you run main.py)
It seems that you might not be loading (all) the presets. You should
see a line like:
loaded cloud4bird
for every file in the /presets directory (here, I have 129 of them).
You don't need all the presets for the application to run (they just
contain more examples of sonic textures), but if they fail to load, it
might give me an indicator as to where this goes wrong for you.

Also, what wx version are you using ?
I'm on wx 2.8.4 (unicode), please do report if you're using the ansi
or unicode version.
PartikkelCloudDesigner uses dynamic execution of code (evaluation of
autogenerated text strings as python code) to automate the generation
of the large number of gui controls. It might be that there's a
problem with the differences in string parsing between the ansi and
unicode versions of wx.
