I hate character sheets

Usability is all that matters to me in a character sheet.
I like having nice fonts however, and possibly some light background in sepia or similar colours... and of course one picture of my character (can have its own page tho). But I wouldn't want to sacrifice usability for that.
One things I noticed about character sheets through the years, is that I really don't want descriptions of abilities embedded on the same page, unless they are really short and laid out nicely. If that's not the case, then I'd just rather have the name of the feat/ability to remind me what I can do each round, and then another page with the full description.

I used exel sheet I made for character sheet. It doesn't look nice, but it works very well. If I want to add pics I have places to add them.
Your character sheet look hard to look at. Too many colors. Pics are kinda nice and so character name, race etc in good place. However my head starts to hurt when I try to look at feats and skills.
Only thing that matter to me is usability. Part of it is looks too, but only means it doesn't irritate me. Like color themes.
If you can spot numbers and information of that sheet more power to you. I prefer simple looking thing. I must say I do like OP:s character sheet better than some other games' who wanted to play with colors.
Also it's too "girly" style for me, my sis might like it. I think I ask her opinion. Generally speaking I only like simple. I keep my pics usually in separete folders and my pictured "story book documents with pics" are good when I want to know in which order to display when I dm.
I use my character sheet mostly at computer screen except for one AD&D game sheet which after few games looks really crappy. I have habit to draw stuff (very badly) on my character sheet all the time. My paper character sheets end up looking horrible fairly soon.

I don't know if it's the inability to match the picture in my head to what I put on the screen or paper, or if there's just no good way to beautify a character sheet for <subject game name here>. I can come up with something reasonable, but it's never quite what I want it to look like.

Yeah, cotton based paper will be great for absorbing pizza stains. Xp

I asked my sis. Yes she likes color theme. But she likes exel sheet better. It's clearer to use. But she likes colors and pic.
