Hey guys

So I have disapeared recently, been sort of enclosed in my room fiddling and learning how to use the Blizzard Custom UI and I have sort of come up with an alpha/beta version of what I would like to actually use and send out for casters and streams etc

The idea is to be able to present as much information as possible without attempting to clutter the screen, this is such that a newer person on the stream isnt overwhelmed but there is enough informaiton that a person watching the stream would be able to rewatch the VOD and attain enough info to be able to dissect their build without the replay (to a certain point)

So here is the finalised version for this UI. So aside from feedback, I would also like to know what info YOU think should be available during a cast, either permanently or being able to pull up at anytime.

Re: Custom UI

Really good man - I especially like the info regarding worker count and and Mineral/Gas income. When I'm watching games being casted I always want to keep tabs on who's ahead and having that info there without having to rely on the caster pulling up a specific tab will really help viewers get engaged in the game.
You've also definitely achieved the minimalistic UI you were aiming for, there's very little clutter on the screen and it all looks really clean

Keep up the great work dude!

Re: Custom UI

Is there a way to make the APM tab show a moving graph rather than just the current number, since I feel that might make it more useful. Looks awesome though.

I do think it would be nicer if the player sections could fit horizontally rather than vertically, so it doesn't intrude so far up the screen, but idk if it could fit...

I am fiddling with new designs for the name area, as for the APM I have thought about doing this exact same thing, however I am unsure about this (will have to email blizzard again) similar to how we have the amp tug of war bar that we can pop up but under each player.

So far I can do everything GameHeart can do (aside from add anything directly to the map)

Re: Custom UI

This looks awesome! I especially like the floating text, and the displacement of player details is a nice touch! If there's anything I'd suggest is only to maybe make the minimap a tiny bit smaller, but even that's nitpicking. I'd love to see this in action though!

Re: Custom UI

Very nice indeed. You have found your own way to make this style of UI very unique! I wold definitely love to use this when I cast. I just need my own advertisements and state of mind that this changes your observer and replay UI only I'm a little clueless when It comes to this stuff and blundered my way through making several overlays

I havent done that as it is easy enough for people themselves to add in over the top, however I will be making areas for all that as well

Is that minimap standard size? Looks huge to me

Re: Custom UI

Think it might look a bit better if the players names with supply count were next to each other, than being side to side.

And also, im wondering where abilities (blinks, storm etc) would be on the UI?
