The following commands will turn off various parts of the HUD:

togglecrosshair
togglehitdisplay
togglecompass
toggleaugdisplay
toggleobjectbelt
toggleammodisplay

You can bind all of them to a single keypress by editing your user.ini file in Deus Ex's System folder as follows, using the minus key as an example:

Code:

Make sure you change all occurances of lines beginning with "Minus=" if more than one exists.

You can also enter them as standard commands at the ">" prompt, if you prefer.

Yes, you can have a key toggle the parts of the HUD. You can configure your key bindings in the Settings>Keyboard/Mouse menu, which does the same thing as manually writing that information to your configuration file. The file named user.ini contains your key bindings. Just open it with a text editor, like notepad. Editing this file allows you to assign multiple functions to one key (like the code I listed in my last post), which you can't do from the Settings>Keyboard/Mouse menu.

Whenever you exit Deus Ex, the current in-game settings are written to the user.ini file, so editing the user.ini file should be done while DX is closed, not just minimized, because exiting DX would overwrite the changes just made.

Or set the opacy to zero, so the hud will show only when necessary.
