How to Customize HUD Layout, Text Shadows, and Performance

Adjusting Screen Fit and Text Readability

Depending on your window dimensions and lighting conditions, floating text can sometimes stretch awkwardly or blend into bright backgrounds. Open the mod configuration to fine-tune how your heads-up display appears on screen:

• Grid Dimensions and Fit: Set hudWidth and hudHeight to change the default grid width and height in characters, and adjust hudFit to control how the terminal fits or stretches across your display.
• Text Outlines and Shadows: Change textShadow to pick a different text outline and shadow style so characters stay readable against bright terrain or sky.
• Shadow Layering: If your interface uses background boxes, adjust textShadowLayer to choose whether text shadows draw over or under those background boxes.

Improving Performance on Large Displays

Detailed overlays—such as complex flight instrument displays or wide telemetry grids—draw many characters at once. If you experience slowdowns when using large display sizes, turn on fastGlyphRendering in the configuration to speed up character rendering. You can also switch the entire on-screen display on or off via hudEnabled, or press H in-game whenever you want to temporarily hide the feed.
