Opening it

Press your HUD Editor key in game. It is Right Shift unless you changed it (Settings, Input, HUD Editor Key). You can also open it from the Sour Client menu with Edit HUD. It shows a live canvas of every on-screen element with the world behind it.

Moving things

  • Drag any widget to move it.
  • Hover a widget for its settings, or to switch it off.
  • Guides catch the screen's centre lines and edges as you drag, and with Snap To Other Modules on, the edges and centres of your other widgets too, so things line up.
  • HUD Mods opens the list of HUD widgets so you can switch more on without leaving the editor. Where that button and Close sit is HUD Editor Buttons.

Snapping and guides

SettingWhat it does
HUD SnapCatches widgets on the screen centre lines and the screen edge as you drag.
Snap To Other ModulesAlso catches a widget on the edges and centre of the other widgets.

Edge Guide OffsetHow far in from the screen edge the edge guides sit, in pixels.
Centre Guide Colour / Edge Guide ColourThe guide colours. The one you are caught on draws in your accent.

One colour scheme for every widget

Switch on Global HUD Colours to set the background, border, value and label colour of every HUD widget at once. A widget you have recoloured yourself keeps its own colours.

Each widget's own look

Every HUD widget has the same three shared sections below its own settings: Layout (scale, padding), Style (background, border, rounded corners) and Text (title, label colour, brackets, separator, shadow, alignment). Each widget's thread lists them under "Layout, look and text".

How often the HUD redraws follows your FPS Performance Mode: 240 times a second on Quality, 144 on Balanced and 60 on Extreme. Set it yourself with HUD Refresh Rate.
