----------------
Total: 78 widgets

which of them have the greatest cost of hardware ressources? (and from these, which can be disabled without heavy disadvantages ingame?)

we should have a better tooltip widget that displayed more relevant information about the selected (or to-be-built) unit's weapons and velocity.

(i made such a widget for metal factions based on the one from kernel panic, but there are probably others)

Widgets have different cost based on what you do, how many units are in game etc. For example, some widget may be very hungry when you hover your mouse over a button, and another one may be very hungry when units die, but otherwise be idle. So it depends. For those widgets that update each drawframe, this also depends on the fps of the user.

Here is a list of widgets that I tagged as expensive earlier. You can check yourself the widget cost with a widget called Profiler: http://widgets.springrts.de/index.php#67

- Healthbars
- Ghost Radar
- Ghost Site
- Advanced playerslist
- RedUI Drawing
- RedUI Framework
