Modifying main HUD

Hello at all.

I'm newbie on forum.

I installed and tried the game, I would try to help the development. On my first test I noticed that the main hud does not have a high proportion of the spaces and symbols. in particular
The symbol of the unit (on the right) is too small, the graphics lose quality and a feeling of confusion.
The symbol of the selected unit (center) is too big and takes up valuable space for other information, such as, for example, details of the units that should be reported in the foreground expressed with symbols and not with letters.
The map (left) could be slightly larger, the button units in waiting should have the single-function units for resources, and a separate button for military units. (there is the space for the other button).
This is my idea, the question is as follows.
Where can I get the file and know their extension and which have to be able to change these parameters and show you something?
I also post my idea of new HUD.. Rate about that.

The files for the GUI are in http://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/gui (i.e. inside the gui folder in the public.zip in the installed version of 0 A.D., though if you intend to do any kind of modding it's recommended that you use SVN: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/TortoiseSVN_Guide it mentions a specific software (TortoiseSVN), but it's valid for other programs/OS as well as things use the same words etc regardless of software).

That might look a bit complicated, but iirc it's just http://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/gui/page_session.xml and the files linked in that file (and linked in those files etc) which are relevant if you just want to change the GUI used when actually playing the game as opposed to the lobby or main menu etc.

Most files are XMLs and JS files, to edit these you just need an ordinary text editor. Something like Notepad++ or another more advanced text editor is recommended though as it's got features which makes things easier for you :) There are also PNG files in http://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/art/textures/ui , but I assume you know what to do with them :)
