I've been able to customise area B but I can't change area A at all. After receiving advice from Omni I tried fiddling with my hudlayout.res to no avail. Please can someone help me, I'd like area A to be this RGBA colour: "255 255 0 255". Thanks to those who've tried to help me in the past, it's a shame Mangachu's hud edit request thread has apparently died.

Ok I'm not on my pc now but it's 12am but try adding a color definition in ClientScheme.res and using that to color it. Eg.

"BarYellow" "255 255 0 255"

So in fgcolor_override you would put BarYellow. Don't know if it works but wouldn't hurt trying. C:

you can't change the color of the spy meter, nor any other meter, except for the demoman meter, and the ubercharge meter. trust me i've tried everything before. its always white, you can only change the under bar.

Well in that case can anyone help me add a 2 pixel wide black border to the bar then?
