How to Change interface and HUD Color in CS:GO? (Counter-Strike: Global offensive)

If the player gets tired of the interface in its current version, CS:GO has special console commands that allow you to customize almost any element.

Of course, such a setting cannot make someone a pro player, but a conveniently customized interface allows you to get the maximum out of your game. For example, many are interested in how to change the HUD Color in CS:GO. So we will discuss how to do that.

How to change the HUD Color in CS:GO?

To change the interface’s color, it is enough to register the command “cl_hud_color 0” in the console, substituting your own version instead of zero, which is responsible for the required color. Studies have shown that players with a red interface play riskier and aggressive. At the same time, the blue color subconsciously encourages gamers to rely more on well-thought-out tactics and thoughtful strategy. On the other hand, Green is absolutely neutral, practically not affecting the psychology of the players in any way.

Of course, the customization possibilities of the interface are not limited to changing the color: the new CS:GO interface can also have a different size and location of objects.

Interface size and position (commands)

Action	Command
Resizing interface and radar	hud_scaling (0.5-0.95)
Moving the panel with players and score	cl_hud_playercount_pos (0 или 1)
Manipulation with the health and armor bar	cl_hud_healthammo_style (0 или 1)

Manipulating the player icon	cl_hud_playercount_showcount (0 или 1)
Enabling/disabling the display of inventory	cl_showloadout (0 или 1)

Sometimes it takes days or even weeks for some players to find the perfect settings. Others either use the standard ones or change them only for a specific situation or map.

In any case, it is important to clearly understand how the ideal, from the player’s point of view, the interface should look like. Only then will he choose the right settings for himself, guided by the help and advice in this article.
