I'm not mikey but I'll answer most of the questions on this one:
1. Resizing that frame is something that you are going to have to do in kgPanels. IF you think you need more room, its up you to get your hands dirty and learn your way around kgPanels. As for your character portrait size, that should be easily adjustable in the DuF config.
2. Sorry no answer for this one.
3. Check your Prat options.
4. Way to figure it out.
Mikey,
This UI looks great, I am trying it tonight. Let me know via PM if you need any help. Im not much of a coder but I can help with testing and writing documentation.
