This post helped with the weird graphics - I followed both of the README instructions; deleting that semicolon and adding the lines. BUT - the colored meter bars are either missing or in the case of my health meter, flashing intermittently (all the other bars in the Info box are missing). In the Stats and Skills; all of the stats bars are missing. In Skills; clicking on Stats - all red bars, no yellow and only blue in charisma; clicking on Factions, no bars, but then up in Stats, the HP bar suddenly appears (red); all the remaining Skills are only showing red and yellow. Most of them all flash a bit.
I found this to be happening in the 4.0 version too, but didn't know if it was a PS issue or if it was because of something I did - I may have upgraded to Leopard in the middle, so it's hard to say. However, with the 4.02 version, I did all the updates and had to follow the instructions/tips to get the updater to run, then did the README instructions. I tried all the possible combinations of both graphics fixes to see if it would help, but no.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to say that Planeshift was the first game I installed on the MacBook after a long 20+ years as a PC user. AND it's because of working through getting Planeshift to work that I understand so much more about how Mac's work. . .THANK YOU! I love to tinker and fiddle and fix and tweak my computer, and the Mac doesn't lend itself so well to that right at the beginning. . .
It occurs to me only now that this may simply be a bug? Is this a sort of bug tracker type thing? And since I'm already in question mode - where do I find the bug tracker posting instructions?
Thank you,
