Minimum Background in HUD

[socorrista5]

Hello,
I don't know if the feature is already in the PT4:

The HUD is a rectangle black with a transparency.
In the rectangle all the configured information is displayed.
For example I have four lines of information regarding each player. In my case most od¡f the time the third line has more information, or at least occupies more space that the rest of the lines.

I wonder if the black background of this rectangle can be treated not as a whole but as a figure composed of four lines, where the background occupies only the space where there is information, in this situation my first, second and fourth lines will have NO background black color from the last data until the end of the rectangle.

For example (imagine that the symbol "@" represents the background black color) the current HUD is like this:

1@2@12@-10@@@@@@@
4@34@0@25@100@2@23
33@-23@1@98@@@@@@

Instead of that, I wonder if a HUD like this is possible:
1@2@12@-10
4@34@0@25@100@2@23
33@-23@1@98

With this second HUD, the background is displayed only where information is displayed, but the final spaces at short lines would have no background.

Is it possible right now or is it possible to have in a future release?

If I'm reading your request right, you can already make the background function that way, though it may not be obvious how to do that. The way to go is to set the actual group background to totally transparent, then set the background for each stat to not be transparent and set it to whatever background color you want. Then you'll only see backgrounds behind each stat and if there's extra space at the end of the line it'll be transparent.

Hello,
yes, you understood me right. I have tested what you told me and it is a good option, but does not fit exactly what I wanted.
With your example all the HUD will be backgrounded, but without any transparency at all, althoug the rest of the spaces are completley transparent (this part is perfect!).

I guess that having a HUD just backgrounded (with the transparency option as a whole for all the fields) where there is information, and not more spaces, is a change of concept too deep with the current implementation, isn't it.
I will try a little bit more your alternative suggestion.
Thanks

If you want full transparency you can just leave the background of the stats transparent - then you'll see only the stat values in the foreground and the entire background will be transparent.
