Summary
The hud controller device’s settings don’t seem to affect the Chapter 7 HUD at all. This is what creators use to customize the UI to fit their experience and its really important that this is fixed before the Chapter 7 HUD is forced on all islands.
None of the settings seemed to work, not the positioning ones and not the custom widget ones.
Included in the example images a project of mine with some pretty modified UI with Chapter 7 HUD on & off. I have some Verse UI elements which stay constant, and I have modified the minimap position and shape (shape in map controller device), health has a custom widget and equipped item info position is adjusted as well.
Also added two screenshots from a completely blank project, just changing the minimap settings as written in the “Steps to reproduce”.
