You can choose to have them off.
Suggestion: Make a health bar on/off switch - Page 2

I like having selected on but I think having something that shows the health bar of units taking damage and having it fade after not taking damage for some time. Or something along those lines. | ||

I also want a toggle for the unit halos. I don't want to see a lighter halo around where my cursor is hovering, I only wanna see a halo around units that are actually selected. This extra highlight halo is just annoying, confusing, and cluttering. | ||

what's the problem with that ? if u don't like it, don't use them, if u like them, use it. A good idea would be to make the bar smaller when you zoom in, in a some sort of BarSize x Zoom ratio. or just to make a little bit smaller. Anyway i don't see a problem with them. | ||

he wants a way to toggle health bars on and off so that he doesnt have to hold alt to see them, but he doesnt want health bars on all the time because that'd be annoying | ||

Don't be dumb. ALT and CAPSLOCK have completely different behaviors. Learn the difference between those two keys, and you might understand his post. | ||

I was going to suggest this too. think this would be a better feature. Even if it was switch, it would still clutter up the screen when used. This would make it usable even in large battles, and even with interceptors. | ||

digging through the threads around here, i thought it wouldnt be that bad to revive this thread and to releave this thread (id=137277) from non topic posts. it seems, that many players dislike the health bar system as it is. imho, adding more options should fix this. i agree with the op and want to extend the idea to the following: - get rid of the dropdown menus - unit health bar options should contain these checkboxes: ** on by default (conveniance checkbox for game startup) ** toggle instead of hold (as suggested by op) ** show selected (** show damaged?) - same thing separately for building health bars - additionally, a slider for health bar transparency would simplify the problem a lot. with this set of options, players as well as commentators can adjust the health bars for a good compromise between visual and informational needs. note that this would also avoid the need of an extra key for observers/commentators (H) what do you think of that?^^ | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=132653 Guest-275: There is only Always, Selected, and Normal for Unit life bars. Will there ever be an option where Alt acts as an on/off switch for unit life bars instead of having to hold it constantly to see life bars outside of the units you've selected? DustinB:: We can certainly look into that. | ||
