UI Frames

UI Frames deliver the core information that the player will need to play StarCraft II. If you're creating a custom map, you can hide these independently based on your needs via triggers.

Hiding Frames

Here is a list of the frames you can hide through the "Show/Hide UI Frame" action with a description of each one:

Achievements Menu Button: Hiding this panel hides the button that shows all the possible achievements in-game. (F9)
Alert Panel: This panel is to the upper-left of your screen. Buttons with their respective 'Alert Tooltip' appear here. For example, when a research or unit is complete.
Alliance Button: Hiding this panel hides the button at the top right that allows you to change you alliance/shared vision if the map does not have Locked Alliances.
Battle UI: Only Blizzard maps can use this. This is the blue-colored UI element that shows how many Battle.net 2.0 friends you have online.

Command Panel: Hiding this hides the command card area at the bottom right of the screen. However, there is still a black box where the command card used to be (hiding the terrain beneath it).
