Show your HUD layout!

Kinda surprised there's not a big, official topic for it. As cramped as the screen can feel with all that goes on there, I'm sure people would enjoy seeing others' tricks to placement and sizes to clear up the clutter.

Sadly, Roulette dropped me in a trial with no debuff for the main tank or Clemency cast to show the cast position about where the "302" heal tic would go.

There might not be any one big, official HUD layout thread, but there are already several that are quite large...

Yes , there are threads about that topic .But can you imagine the outcry about 'necroing' an old thread ?
The horror!

Heaven forbid we keep things nice and tidy in one thread thereby showing the powers that be that it is a longtime issue , better to make a million tiny threads about the same topic.

My apologies about going on about a thing that annoys me about these forums.

This one has a nice title though, matches with the 'Show your X' naming convention we have going on.

Anyway, mine:

Actually tweaked ever so slightly since taking this, but the general outline is still the same.

With the extra hotbars hidden:

no ui. memorise your hotbars and cooldowns like a man

Nothing too fancy. Big ol' 34 inch widescreen, so lots of space. Blank space to left of 3 main bars is for pet bar.

Nothing special, really. The blank spot on the left between the chat and my hotbars is where the enemy list goes, as Chaos/Light is currently down for the DC split I can't grab an in-combat screenshot.

I actually searched topic titles for "HUD" and didn't see any that made it past two pages in size. My own fault for assuming the trend of "Show your ____" would've put HUD in the spotlight and not digging deep enough, I suppose. Sorry.

The class selection bar collapses.
As does my LB Big red button

the less thing i put on the hud the better, ever time i just find a reason to remove something out of it

Main block matches my Koolertron keypad, and the vertical 2x6 set to the right is on my G700s mouse.
Bar 3 covers the two middle rows on the keypad because of the space taken by WASD. Strafe is via side push on mouse wheel.

So, shut off screen, and play the whole game with text commands and sound feedback?

My normal run around HUD.

That's actually really effin' unique.

This is my usual layout:

The columns match up to my keybinds on my mouse (anything to help my poor brain), and then I have 3 toggle buttons on the side which will hide/show my class icons & chocobo skills.

I have a few of my commonly used skills keybound on a hotbar (sprint, flying mount roulette, number markings, etc) to try and help keep clutter down :X

I just keep it very simple, couple of straight bars with controller crossbars

This is mine

I keep the same layout for all combat jobs. Similar skills to the same keybinds and all that.
The Hotbar next to the chat can be changed by pressing on the star. I have one for combat jobs, one for crafters/gatherers and one for battle stuff like markers and macros.

The + macro is for getting out thoose emote hotbars, i usually hide them and have them out when i need them (yes i am too lazy to go into emotes and look for them)

And here it is with job gauge etc.

The star changes the two vertical hotbars completely together? Color me interested in what the macro is to do that; I'd enjoy getting to use some of my lower-right screen space for a swappable column like that.

I have 3 hotbars stacked ontop of eachother with the 2x6 layout. 3 macros are needed to turn on the hotbar you want to show whilst hiding the other 2.

I'm using hotbars 7, 8 and 10.

For the macros i simply use

1.)
/hotbar display 8 on
/hotbar display 7 off
/hotbar display 10 off

2.)
/hotbar display 7 on
/hotbar display 8 off
/hotbar display 10 off

3.)
/hotbar display 10 on
/hotbar display 7 off
/hotbar display 8 off

Before stacking the hotbars i spread them and filled it with the things i wanted (battle/crafting etc) and in one slot i put the macros above.
in hotbar 7 i put macro 3, in hotbar 8 i put macro 2 and in hotbar 10 i put macro 1 in order to go through them when clicking. Then i simply stacked them on top of eachother where i wanted them.

I hope that makes sense, i'm bad at explaining xD

My secret to less clutter is having a big honkin' monitor. ;)

I've seen this thread around and never got the chance to show my HUD, this one here I've been using it for a while and got used to it now :)

Final iteration.
