Hey there Caellian
Sorry if I necro'd this thread unnecessarily, but I wasn't sure from reading some of the latest comments on the layouts download page if questions / advice on how to modify your code should be done there or here.
I'm still a novice at modifying ouf layouts, although I'm pretty handy at following directions. There are three things I'd like to do, and I'm wondering if it would be too complicated to do or not possible ...
The first would be to make the party member frame font one size larger. --
No longer needed, I figured this one out 
The second would be to reshade the default black of the frames to another color. I've got the color codes, I'm just not entirely sure on exactly where to place it.
Not really wanting to reshade the black inside of the frame ... but rather, the border of the frames.
The third would be to have the party member frames grow horizontally as opposed to vertically.
Thanks for any advice, and I hope I'm not pestering.
Edited to strikeout/modify things I figured out.
