My wife was looking for a program to ease character creation on her laptop, and I pointed this one out to her. She likes it, and I appreciate it too because now she doesn't use the nonstandard notation she used to use. Two people in our game use it now, thanks!

Nice Smile

It's so hard to break people from non-standard notation... being a GM and trying to deal with it can be a challenge at times Razz

I guess it depends on how experienced you are with the system.
By my experience, the people that need the most help tend to be the ones using non-standard notations... which means, in order to help them, the GM has to do a lot of converting, which is, well, annoying Razz

i hind that my non-standard character sheets help when i GM games. it's my version of shorthand, quick to read (for me) and keeps prying eyes from reading too much when i drop papers. (being in a wheelchair i usually need help if i drop things, which i do alot)

Non-standard notations for a GM is a little different than players, as players just force the GM to do extra work when they screw around with how things are written. Nice idea for hiding stuff for a GM though/

So, I have uploaded a new version of the program. I _think_ I have most of what i need to release a version 1, and I can start adding additional functionality to it. I have added a Colour Scheme menu bar option. You can select a the colours for things, and I have included a few defaults. You can click output Scheme and it will copy a set of numbers to the clip board. Paste them here so i can take a look at what you guys think would be a decent theme.

Play around with it and test it please. I am colour impaired, and definitely need help in this department Smile

Overall, I kinda like the yellow/black thing. But I did make a change that I think works better for the text boxes:
