Just a first comment: Outstanding!!!!
I'm attaching my settings with some color changes which Oystein has
already seen. I'll be adding some textures to give it a real nice look.
Two things, is it at all possible to separate the percentiles from the
move data so as to be able to reduce the horizontal size a bit? A bit
like the pic attached, or is this complicated/undesirable? Also, is it
possible to place the 3 luck/checker/cube labels (for "lucky", etc.) on
the same line? They take up a lot of space one over the other. Still,
let me tell you right away this is so much nicer to work with.
