Add a setting to switch back to the classic HUD layout

Natsux

Please add a setting that lets users switch back to the old HUD, so you can enable it in Settings and get the previous HUD back.

God yes please, this new Desktop HUD is poorly designed, the face mirror and mute icon are way out of view. Personally I don't want a setting to switch it back, I simply want this new HUD scrapped.

Alianna They don't like scrapping what makes the investors think they're innovating. They gotta look busy after all. But really, this hud is quite the mess. Almost 10 days after this post, nothing substantial has changed and once again, when we all say "Hey maybe don't...?" they keep pressing forward anyway.

And that's given all we ever asked for was buttons to disable these changes so we can have peace of mind knowing whoever actually likes the changes can have them and the rest of us can enjoy VRC in peace.

AtTheCafe I recommended they make the HUD dynamic so we can place the items where ever we want by like holding a hot key or something.

This. While you can set it to minimal, I still strongly prefer the previous HUD for 3 main reasons:
I do not need an entire permanent UI element on-screen to tell me when I have my menu open. I can see the menu just fine.
The position of the HUD elements is very distracting. I'd rather them be in the bottom corners, if at all. They are not racing game elements, so they do not need to be in the upper corners where you glance at constantly. And notifications being all the way up their is less comfy to read.
Is there no way for the HUD to auto-hide anymore? Am I constantly stuck with UI elements permanently on-screen in very distracting places?

Literally this, I dont understand why a permanent and horribly designed HUD is being forced onto players was ever considered to be a good idea let alone functional? It takes away from the social experience when your screen is PERMANENTLY blocked by buttons and icons you dont need to see, not to mention how buggy it is.
