Default [impovement] Interface : gametime/safegold/timer


The suggestion is:

1. Replace gametime from "lumber"+"limit" ("food") panels and move them to board title. This will set time format to compact "XX:XX", not just "XX"s with 1/4 screen distance between it.
2. Set safegold to "lumer" panel. Will be good to have all money-values at top; Additionaly it will be good to have toopltip for safe-gold.
3. Set death-timer or glyph-timer (i prefer it) to "limit" ("food") panel. It's good to see this stategy-important ability cooldown with just seconds.

* as alternative for "food" panel, there is a Glyph/Revive Cooldowns or something else.

3rd panel at top, "food", "limit" etc. Used to cap number of units in mellee wc3 maps. I suggest to place ulti cd timer there.

I love this

T-up!

About No.3: He's suggesting changing the CURRENT CLOCK (the food counter, as many would know when you hover over the time ) with your hero's ultimate cooldown. So the Info in that info bar would go [Total Gold|Reliable Gold|Ulti Cooldown|Version Number]

I wouldn't think it would matter, because you've got the time in the title of the multiboard, so you can always see it. And there is wasted space in the multiboard when you get those heroes anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Great idea. But I just don't like it cause I don't like the save gold thing. So I don't want it at the top.
