    Modifying HUD

    My HUD feels so cluttered.

    Does anyone have any good recommendations for HUD changes? So far all I've done is remove player names when out of combat.

    And maybe some good tips for hot-key organization?

    Thanks!

    Screenshot would be nice to examine and give pointers. I basically have everything cleared from the middle of the screen, so everything except for Hotbars 1-4 are nowhere near the middle.

    Also, PC or PS3?

    At least it's not as bad as what I've seen people on Youtube use... I'd show mine but not at my gaming PC

    This thread has several other examples of customized HUDs.

    If it seems overly cluttered, just shrinking the size of most of the elements can help a lot.

    any thoughts on some HUD placement optimization for a 14-inch laptop screen?

    here is my UI as it stands:



    my party window and Limit Break meter are in the top left corner. I put every UI element to its smallest setting.

    any suggestions to better organize my HUD? or is this about the best I can do with a 14-inch screen?
