That's weird, I don't know what to tell you. I can only say that I don't experience it and I have not received reports of anyone else experiencing it, but I don't get reports of much of anything anyway.

You mean the chat button on the main menu, right? I haven’t experienced any hitches there.

v4.69

Updates for today's patch. Everything should work. The friends list panel on the main menu now reports what game mode and map friends are playing, though it no longer shows your entire online friends list. Instead, only those who are currently playing TF2 make the list. Don't know why Valve changed that, but they have. It's not a HUD bug.

v4.68

Noticed an issue with the Frontier Justice crit counter I caused yesterday and ended up spending a few hours tinkering with all the meter counts. Barely even changed anything. Such is HUD editing.

- standardized shadows/font for meter count labels
- fixed revenge crits overlapping metal account in lowered version
- added wrench icon to engineer metal acccount value

Couple of minor fixes. Fun fact: I released the original 7HUD 5 years ago this month. Time flies.

- fixed engineer panel not displaying number of teleports

You could just set your resolution and fullscreen using launch options.

So where is the file? I simply couldn't find it.

v4.63

There are still a couple of outstanding bugs with this release, but one of them is a Valve issue that I cannot resolve without a fix from them. This bug has the Gas Passer effect meter overlapping the Phlogistinator effect meter. The other problem is the black overlay that appears when you click the "find game" button to dim the screen while you select a game mode. It doesn't stretch all the way to the bottom of the screen. I can't find the file to control that, so it's not fixed yet.

- reconfigured main menu to better suit jungle inferno changes
- stylized thermal thruster effect meter
- fixed player health positioning after switching hud location

Just checked, they completely overlap in the base HUD too. Valve pls fix.

Oh good, both the phlog and the gas passer use the same item effect meter, so I can't make them not overlap. Is this not a bug in the default HUD?

Which item effect meter has the gas passer tied to it? Can't find it.

Where is the DashboardDimmer element? It's the big background that comes in to dim the rest of the screen when you open the matchmaking panel. The VGUI tree says it's in mainmenuoverride, but of course it's not.
