Hey there, sorry for the late reply, I didn't see this message until just now.
Your first issue stems from the fact that I shrunk the default line spacing by a couple of pixels to make the extra line fit on the screen for the default resolution. I'll add a plugin parameter to disable that, for people who have larger resolutions, as it's not needed, and it should make the scene line up correctly in your screenshot. I'll also fix it so that the new parameter I added in the previous update also affects the party scene, as I hadn't released it was having an issue there as well.
Your second suggestion is a good one, more customization is always good for a plugin like this, to help a wider audience get their menus just the way they want them. I'll see what I can do about making that change.
I did not have plans for this to work with the in battle status plugin, as I don't use that one myself, but it shouldn't be too difficult to add that one in.
I can't give a timeline on these changes, but it shouldn't be too long. I'll keep you posted.
