Uck. Way too much of a hassle just to have darkness removed.

Out of interest, which bit was 'way too much of a hassle'? Downloading and installing the client in eactly the same way as for any other OS? Hitting 'Software Update' to make sure your Java is current? Or are you embarrassed to be running an old version of OS X and discovering that it's not that simple? (I'm running X.4 and admit to not having tried the complicated messing around with SoyLatte yet).

Phades - a lot of people would never open a Terminal window in their normal use of OS X. They probably don't even know where or what Terminal is (but ok, my mum doesn't need to know what Java she's running. And she could probably find Terminal if prompted to use the search function). Using Software Update to automatically install whichever Java it tells you to (or, if you're on X.6 and Software Update isn't telling you anything about Java = you've got the right one) is probably good enough for normal instructions. Anything requiring opening Terminal looks like it counts as troubleshooting, or indeed is otherwise complicated.

I found out my Java version via Java Preferences, which lives at Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0, but I think it might be different if you're not on X.4, so that's not necessarily a helpful instruction.

This may be a bit random but I seem to be missing one of the belts, I have the F1-12 belt, but the 1-0 I can't visually see... Maybe I pressed something? :?

Try dragging some stuff around to see if it's minimized and placed behind something.
You can probably delete your windows.conf file in the enders folder to reset the placements (or edit the toolbar pos in the file).

Nah the windows.conf file is there, also re-downloaded and it was still the same... I moved all the boxes around and still can't see it, also my resolution is fine.

I tried updating the client, but it keep giving me the error "connection refused : connect".
Any thoughts?

My version is 16.05.11 by the way.

I don't know how possible this is, or how well it would be implemented if possible (your gui design skills are somehow worse than the original ;) ), but it would be nice if there was some way to elucidate the current FEP data on the main screen, via a small, movable bar similar in size to the HP/Stamina bars. Just something you could make a quick glance at when you're eating to check and see what foods you have currently eaten and what foods you need to eat.

Probably not that big of a deal to larger villages that do most of their eating via feasting, but often times I'll be out foraging or doing something where I'll run across some food and have to click on my character screen to take a peek at my FEP bar and see what stats I have and how close I am to leveling. Dunno if the current FEP information is always present, or if it's only sent when the character window is up or how it works, and it's probably far too complicated for such a tiny thing to be worth worrying about, but it's just an idea.

Well, this is possible, but not that easy - eaten FEP data sent only when character screen is open. I could try to make it like buddy window - do not close, just hide, but this may introduce some bugs.

How about printing what attribute you just gained to the message window?

When belts are horizontal please flip the 'buttons' (Minimize/flip/lock), they're on the wrong sides.
:)

Also I may be getting crazy here but is it possible to add MORE belts?
(I'd enjoy one tied to NUMPAD)
