It is something that annoyed me / found very distracting with HEM and it appears to be the same for HEM2. AFAIK, there doesn't seem an easy way to set the always visible portion of the HUD such that it is in a grid, and as a result the stats never line up neatly.
All the pop-ups are based around putting stats / text in a grid, so would it be possible to have that for the visible element?
Furthermore, another useful feature would be to have the ability to have both stat prefixes (currently called abbreviations) and suffixes. For instance, I find it far easier to have say the # of hands wrapped in brackets.
