Just started getting into the aesthetic aspect of my map. I am really new to this, as I have just begun realizing how important and powerful it is to have a clean, and somewhat unique UI for the game. I don't want to begin getting into third party tools or drastic file editing but what recommended tweaks could I do to make the in-game interface unique and less obtrusive? I've done away with the menu bar and the resource icons. I would like to remove the Command box on the bottom right but haven't achieved thta without also removing unit abilities.. Also, is their a way to simply scale-down the interface?
Somebody posted on the forums about moving the UI around and stuff. I believe its not on the front page anymore, but do some seraching for it. I tried it and it did work for me. Basically, you hide the UI and then you can make the UI elements appear anywhere on the screen you want. Sorry I dont have a link..

Feel free to Send me a PM if you have any questions/concerns!
thanks for the link. Do you or anyone else think they could give me a short run-down of how to set-up my first custom dialog box? I have not imported a library before and a lot of the stuff within it is new to me.
If I hide the full UI, and then, like you said, add back the command card, will it work normally? Do I have to manually add back in the abilities through triggers? I'm concerned over whether the unit will respond to move and attack commands like normal if I customize the command card through this method.

It's this one in case you cant find it or find something outdated that is of no use.

one option, is to hide the the full UI, the add back what you like, for exmaple, you can re-add the command card, ad place it anywhere you want
Dialog - Create a Image for dialog (Last created dialog) using the template "CommandPanel/CommandPanelTemplate"
you can also change the size if the item, so that it only shows 5 buttons total ...ect
theres other options such as doing this with any part of the UI, the only drawback is hotkeys wont work by default.
