    I dislike some of the names for the commands on the Menu Bar.

    In Options, 'Away' was replaced by 'Idle'. I dislike the use of Idle because it appears as though it's encouraging you that blocking challenges is a bad thing to do. What's more, the origin of the word suggests worthlessness. I'd prefer it if it was called something like 'Block Challenges'.

    In Battle Options, I think the use of 'Risky!' beside 'Enable sounds' is a bit overly dramatic. I believe something like 'Caution' would be a better choice because it seems like a more appropriate word to discipline oneself to be careful but not alarm oneself too much. That's how I feel anyway.

    Again in Battle Options, 'Old School buttons' seems very informal. I think something like 'Classic buttons' is better generally.

    I don't agree. I think everything is fine.
