Event windows (Spaceball, Invasion, Sector Control …) appear by themselves while an event runs.

The item bar (bottom) has categories: lasers, rockets, special ammo, CPUs, tech items and more. Click a category to see its items. The bar under each item shows how much you have: blue = plenty, red = low, grey = none.
The shortcut bar has 10 slots (keys 1–0). Drag items from the item bar into it.
The premium shortcut bar has 10 more slots (keys F1–F10) – with Premium and the setting “Display premium quickslot bar”.
The lock icon unlocks the HUD: then you can move and rotate the bars and windows. Lock it again to save the layout.

The backpage rail on the right edge opens the big windows. The lit button is the window in front. The small arrow folds the rail away.
