Read the comments at the beginning of charpane.ash to find the documentation.
Though you are correct that it might be better for that to be a separate readme file. Especially since there are so many sentences involved that it gets a bit long to just be comments. That's how the original author set this up and I didn't bother to change that. Though things may well change now that you pointed out the easy misunderstanding. I'll copy/paste it here:
Code:
CHIT allows you to customize the layout of your charpane (Let's call it your House).
Your house consists of 4 separate areas:
Roof: Always anchored to the top of the screen
Walls: Scrollable area between the roof and the floor
Floor: Always anchored to the bottom of the screen, and always contains the Toolbar as the last item
Toolbar: Row of pretty icons that does various things
Inside each area you can place any of the following "bricks":
character: Basic character information (name, class, paths, level, meat, turns etc) (Not available in toolbar)
stats: A whole bunch of pretty progress bars. (stats/consumption/hp/mp etc) (Not available in toolbar)
familiar: Familiar information, with a built-in equipment changer thingy (Not available in toolbar)
trail: Recent adventures
quests: Quest nudges (when available)
helpers: Adventure helpers (described in more detail below)
effects: List of current effects (Not available in toolbar)
organs: similar to stats, but only shows spleen, stomach and liver (more useful when used in the toolbar)
substats: similar to stats, but only shows muscle,myst and moxie (more useful when used in the toolbar)
modifiers: Some useful modifiers (+meat, +items, +combat, ML, DA, DR etc)
elements: Shows the KoL elements chart from the wiki (also mostly for the toolbar)
update: Notifies you when new versions of CHIT are available
So how do you design and build your own house? Easy. Simply place your bricks in the area you want, in the order you want them.
All of the preferences below can be found in /data/vars_yourname.txt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
chit.roof.layout: Comma-separated list of bricks to place in your roof
Default: character,stats,familiar,trail

chit.character.avatar: Shows or hides your character image (true/false)
Default: true

It might be useful to disable this if you have a long title that causes ugly wrapping in the charpane.
Default: true
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
chit.stats.layout: Your stats can be further customized with another comma-separated list
Commas can be replaced by pipe characters (|) to add some visual seperation between different elements
mainstat,moxie,myst,muscle - substat progress

hp,mp - progress bars are clickable to restore HP/MP (if enabled in mafia)
axel - that creepy spooky little girl from the spaaaaace quest (only while doing the quest)
mcd - the progress bar is clickable to let you set a new value
trail - last adventure
Default: muscle,myst,moxie|stomach,liver,spleen|hp,mp,axel|mcd
chit.stats.showbars Shows or hides progress bars
Default: true
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(You have to go to your campsite->terraium to change familiars, or use chat commands)
Default: false
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HELPERS are displayed when certain counters reaches 0.
They will present you with a list of relevant adventure locations.
Helpers are there merely for convenience; they will NOT try to auto-adventure for you.
chit.helpers.wormwood: Enables or disables the Wormwood helper (triggered when the Wormwood counter reaches 0)
Comma-separated list of desired Wormwood goals.
Valid values: moxie,myst,muscle,pipe,booze,food,mask,cancan,necklace
A reasonable effort is made to figure out what you mean for other values (eg. "spleen" or "flask" will also work)
Special values:
none (or blank) - disables the helper
mainstat - chooses stat adventures based on your current class
stats - shorthand for all stats
rewards - shorthand for all consumable/equipment rewards
For stat rewards, you can also append a 1,5 or 9 to determine when the helper is triggered
Examples:
mainstat5 - shows locations for you mainstat reward with A-M at 5/1
mainstat,stats1 - shows mainstat reward with A-M at 9/5/1, and all 3 stat rewards with A-M at 1
moxie,booze - shows moxie and booze rewards
stats,rewards - shows every achievable reward
chit.helpers.dancecard: Enables or disables the Dance Card helper (triggered when the DC counter reaches 0)
true - enabled (default)
false - disabled

true - enabled (default)
false - disabled
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comma-separated list of classes to replace
Valid values:
none - does nothing (default)
sc - replace SC buffs with a seal club
tt - replace TT buff icons with a turtle
pm - replace PM buff icons with a pasta spoon
sa - replace SA buff icons with a saucepan

at - replace AT buff icons with an accordion (useful in conjunction with chit_bumpsongs)
Example: tt,at - replaces only TT and AT buffs
chit.effects.showicons: Shows effect icons, or doesn't (compact-style)
true - show them (default)
false - don't show them
chit.effects.layout: Comma-separated list
buffs - regular effects
intrinsics - intrinsic effects
songs - only if present, this will cause all active AT songs to be displayed separately
Example:
intrinsics,songs,buffs - displays intrinsic effects first, then any AT songs, then all other effects/buffs
Default:
buffs,intrinsics (standard behaviour)
chit.effects.usermap Allows you to use personalized versions of chit_effects.txt

For some reason, when my wife uses CHIT, she doesn't see the EXTREME flashing stuff when doing that quest, but I see it just fine. We are both using macs with identical versions of CHIT.
Can you think of any reason why?
Thanks!

So her setting for chit.kol.coolimages is true, and she is seeing her zombie hoard, just not the EXTREME flashy graphics....

Now you've got me stumped. Next time that she should have an extreme meter, have her disable the charpane relay and take a look at the unmodified charpane. Then copy the source for the charpane (Right-click -> Frame -> Source) and paste it into this thread so that I can see why it is different for her.
What browser is she using?

Ok, will do.
She is using Firefox 3.6.28. Actually I am using 15.0.1, so there is a difference there.
You should see that when you start a zombie run, because the charpane is empty and there's nothing useful for CHIT to display. If you're seeing it at other times, then there's some other problem because it only shows up when the charpane is empty.

Did it reload when the cutscene was over? Under what circumstances did you see that?
Ohh, I see. I'm not on a Zombie run at all. For what it's worth, I'm actually doing BHY at the moment.
I'm definitely seeing it at other times.
I was seeing it all the time yesterday, typically during fights. Ending the fight would make my normal chit display come back most of the time. There was one time nothing would make it come back short of killing Mafia though. It was a little surprising the first time it happened, since I don't tend to think of KoL as having anything I would call a cutscene. I guess lostcalpolydude explained what that means, though.

That should only happen if your charpane contains less than 6 characters. The only time that should happen is during the Zombiecore opening cutscene, so you have a problem that has nothing to do with ChIT. It might be interesting to see what your charpane displays if you remove charpane.ash

Ok, here is the extreme frame that is not showing up in the latst CHIT.

So the latest trivial change has silently broken my parsing, causing CHIT to display none of my buff. I think this is because now Intrinsics are up above normal buffs, I think. I had to do some re-ordering of the parsing code to get my buffs to reappear:
I'm not sure this is an optimal solution, but it's a kludge that's gotten me up and running again.

Those attempts were a nice start, but will break if the user changes KoL's new character pane option for "Slim HP/MP/Meat/Adv Display." The following will work regardless of how he changes his options.
Updated to 0.7.3
Since version 0.7 only charpane.ash has been changed.

Updated to 0.7.3
- Fix for KoL's September 26, 2012 update.
- Move help text from comments into a new readme file
- Add preference chit.disable to easily turn off ChIT.
Since version 0.7 only charpane.ash has been changed.
