For what it's worth, I'd vote for no graphics [yes, I'm old school] and no overlays on the screen. I also think the keyboard works well, and I don't see any point in removing precious screen real estate.

As far as the colours are concerned, yes blue is tricky but fountains and gnomes have nothing on dark potions - they're practically invisible :-).

Thanks for the details on adding the < and > keys to the shortcut bar. The only other regularly used key which is slightly tricky to get to I'm finding is ctrl D for kick, where I'm not sure what the quickest way to hit ctrl uppercase D is.

Nice that you've fixed the prompt for character name - I'm aware you can change the configuration file, but this is much more convenient.
