Any chance you could re-post this somewhere for those (like myself) who were not in the UE4 beta?

Sounds like you’re wanting basically a streamlined visual editor that lay’s out the basic HUD elements in raw 2D graphically with minor property modification required versus in code alone, perhapes a drag and drop element and modify some properties like Visual Basic.NET has it’s visual designer, and also your ability to use Blueprints to change the values and connect the wiring, instead of doing it in the textual based form only.

Or something such as an HTML editor with more focus on the visual graphical side to things.

I hope this helps get you started!
