If you're going to use default hud I recommend running Enhanced Default HUD or Improved Default Hud .

Otherwise you need to modify the hud elements in the tf/custom folder. It's a lot easier to do this after installing a custom hud because you wont have to make all the folders yourself. If you don't have the hud element files, download GCFScape. Use GCFScape to open the tf2_misc_dir.vpk file in your /tf folder - this is where all the hud elements are contained. If you're looking for a specific element to edit, I use this reference list

For the ammo background, you need to modify the HudAmmoWeapons.res file. In that file, you have to change the values under HudWeaponAmmoBG. Im not sure if the "visible" setting actually works so I just changed the xpos value to 9999 so it places the background off screen.

I have not actually changed the timer background but I'm guessing its in the hudobjectivetimepanel.res, maybe the TimePanelBG setting.

The biggest thing to remember when editing a hud is that you have to use the command in the console "hud_reloadscheme" to refresh the hud after any changes are made. The only way I know how to edit a hud is though trial and error by changing the value in the .res file, saving the file, then using hud_reloadscheme and seeing what moves around on the hud.
