About this mod
Compilation of a few different HUDs with a few tweaks to make Direction and "Perfect Block" indicator more visible and some other elements more distinct from Vanilla. Also shows reticle when using a bow.

Inspired by Subtly Better HUD by skaimy and uses it as a basis.
Health / Stamina bars are fromDark Mode HUD by Plutonia01
I also borrowed the compass frame, but removed a lot of it for a clearer hud.
I tried to use a tweak to Transparent compass with markings and no reticle(Hardcore) by PaciFIst1012 to recolor the cardinal directions, but it looks like that is now stored elsewhere in 1.9.6 (play around with it if you want, if it comes out w N,S,E,W blue for you... neat I guess?)
Health bar and buff / debuff frame from Silver HUD - Fixed / SIlver HUD - Shiny Version by Ranceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (Check out their Stone UIs if you really want a sweet new look to the UI). I used the Shiny "Cross" and trimmed it along with the red "Cross to make weapon direction and Perfect Block indicators a bit clearer.
I also changed the Perfect Block indicator to a blue shield w/ a red border to make it more visible. If you want different colors for the indicator you can extract the .dds and use (Fill) in a program like Paint.net to fill in the shield symbol. (If someone has a color vision difference I might recolor that bit on request, but only that element *its a solid block so its easy, the other parts of the HUD require a redraw to color in and I'm just not that good at "pencil work" these days.
Added a config line to show the reticle based on Unintrusive Reticle by Barleyman, doesn't use that reticle though - I get a silver dot very slightly above the aimpoint, but I also use archery mods, YMMV. If you don't want the "Bow aiming reticle" delete mod.cfg from the mod directory.
I Highly recommend pairing it w/ Better Map Icons by skaimy
