Hi,
Just wanted to share something I have always had at the back of my mind but never time to do. I'm sure others have done this as well, but wanted to get your opinions on this. Seems like it would streamline the game

Hope Blizzard is watching!
I decided to make the command box optional because even though I never click it, I still use it to check what upgrade has been researched.

Thanks, Comments and suggestions welcome

Good work! I kinda like it. Especially having the min/gas count in the control box where I'm more likely to notice it.

Looks interesting but I'm not sure how much I like the minerals at the bottom

I'm sure we all would like addon support for sc2 like sc2 or HoN but I think Blizzard would be wary about how different addons would effect the game :D

Nice idea though

That's very nice. I'd use it, if it were possible and legit. The less stuff on screen, the better.

I would love that to be possible, one of my favorite aspects of the mmo swtor is the fact that you can customize the ui to your needs, I think having an ui editor should be the standard for any modern game tbh.

if blizzard add gamefunctions on request they do it

A) in a very basic unusable way ( chat windows)
B) if the work is already done in a mod so they understand how to do it


I think blizzard dont want to change anything because it cost money and also cant change anything because of lack of program skill
They said often in the past "technologies is not there", or "we cant do that" for basic stuff that a 16 year old hoby programmer could do in 1 day. ( working search function / decent custom map system / chat system / replay from replay / labels in ui in d3 / ... )


So nice idea with 0% chance that its in the game unless you write a mod yourself.

I wish Blizz would implement a way to make the UI really small and just keep the minimap the same size. I'm not saying it gets in the way but I'd enjoy it much more if the UI wasn't so in your face.

I've always wanted the resource and supply counters near the minimap so you don't have to look back and forth in opposite corners of the screen all the time.

Only problem with this is that if it isn't covering a symmetrical part of the screen, there could be "positional imbalances" on maps where the player spawning on the left (vs right) would have more vision in certain areas like the main choke, etc.

You can use the wireframe to micro and do other things. Its not actually in the way at all :/ I find it quite helpful. Command card is there idk because it is but it wouldnt help to remove it.

Also, by having more space on the map not covered by UI, it would provide advantage to people who use the limited UI over those who dont since it is clickable space.
