Very nice plugin, but there's a few options I can't seem to find:

1) an option to simply switch the command window to the right side of the screen.
Opsy! That's my bad. I didn't realize this was due to a Visustella plugin.

2) a way to remove (or change the location of) the "tool tip" window at the bottom (saying "Z:Select, X: Back", etc)

Opsy again! This entire window was added by a Visustella plugin.

3) Add an extra window (like, say I want the gold and playtime displayed in seperate windows. Especially when the command window is vertical, this would be nice to have since there isn't enough horizontal space to display both in one window.

Again, this issue only occurred when VisuStella was installed. That being said, it would be great to have the option to separate the gold, playtime, and location into different windows.

Another thing I consider critical for the playtime display is the ability to control the text alignment (right/center/left). Most fonts aren’t monospaced, which means the playtime numbers will “jump” as the clock updates when they are right-aligned. If the text is left-aligned, this effect is much less noticeable.

Being able to adjust this in the “Gold & Game Info Window” would be extremely useful!

Thanks for your feedback!

1 & 2: Yes, my plugin cannot control windows from other plugins, but it might change in the future. It doesn't have a high priority for me because I don't like this hotkey window anyway. 3rd party plugins may not be able to add their hotkeys to it, and I don't think it's really helpful for the player.

3: I can add text-align for the next update, that's not too difficult. Allowing more windows however is. From a design perspective, this window is not limited to gold, map, & playtime but it is generic and can be used for anything as it also allows showing Game Variables. But I can understand that the horizontal layout makes it difficult to read.

I'd be more than happy with the text align update to fix the Playtime issue for non-monospaced fonts, and I'm looking forward to that update! :)
