When it comes to creating games, there are three GUI's that tend to get in the way...A LOT, and they are the Player List GUI, the Chat GUI, and the Backpack GUI. Now, before you automatically say "Not Support", at least read this, because I am not suggesting to remove them.


I) Player List GUI:
There are two possible solutions to this one:
1. Allow the GUI to be replaced with a User-Made GUI (in other words, remove it from Core GUIs). Now, I have heard the reaction about how people can make it seem like some famous person is in the game, but frankly that does not stand that well for the following reasons: (a) One can check the player's Profile Page, if they are in the game, it will show on their page. (b) Anybody with some knowledge on how to use a hacking tool can make it seem like the person is in the game anyways, so if somebody actually wanted to do that, the current GUI wouldn't stop them. (c) Just add it to the reasons of why to report a place.

2. Knowing how Admins probably won't use Option 1 (even with those three points stated) because of that whole blog post they made about it, I thought up of another option: Allow it to be removed by the CLIENT (not the Server). Add it into the Client game options to have it COMPLETELY invisible (unlike still having something stick out). That way, somebody can still just check the actual Player GUI to see who is there and who isn't. Honestly, I don't see any reason as to why not to add this one.


II)Chat GUI
The options are pretty much the same as the Player GUI. The reason why, though, is so that people can make custom chat GUI's, even if they don't want the Bubble Chat.


III)Backpack GUI
Now, I am not asking on completely removing the Backpack GUI, just to make it smaller. Before, people could place GUIs under the Backpack GUI, but now the GUI is too bulky to be able to put anything under it.

Well, anybody that has tried to make some kind of custom Game GUI system will know what I am talking about. Roblox's Core GUIs are very bulky and should be slimmed down if not removed. Doing so will open up opportunities for better and more original games.

I do know that the chat GUI gets in the way far too much.

Yea, instead of Roblox trying to figure out new things to add to the Core GUI's, they should be thinking on what they can remove and slim down to save space.

Glad to see so many supports. I was honestly expecting at least one No Support by now by some random person.

I support this. I think they should add a "Core GUI" section in the explorer bar of Studio, which allows players to edit the size, scale, location, Texture and Decal of said GUIs.

@ax94;
That would be more complicated security wise for Roblox. It would be a lot easier if they could just add an Off button.

The "off" button would be part of the Core GUI section also... It wouldn't really be any different than the current ScreenGUI settings security-wise.

^That is exactly why I said it would have some issues.

Meh?

Some serpert I guess.

I don't give a damn about GUIs in my game.

If I want GUIs I just script a simple reset one!

This is a siggy?!

Support all -- it gets pretty annoying when trying to make custom Guis when all of these other underdeveloped ones get in the way. Seriously, if the devs have a problem with any of this, then they're going to have to get over it. Protecting the "less-smart" members of Roblox makes them feel perfectly safe and opens them up as easy targets for scammers.

How about you make it player customizable, Roblox lacks customization within the game anyways.
