Original Opening Post:
I personally don't intend to do much of the testing myself. If I can, I'd like to try adapting the Customize Character interface again.
Worth another shot, no?
This would be a major achievement indeed! If you want a hand with this, I might be able to help, since I did some interface work not long ago.

When something scary happens and makes you nervous you can put on a brave face and carry on. It is called "Whistling past the graveyard.". Think "Legend of Sleepy Hollow".
