As you can see for large units and buildings the current implementation use up alot of screenspace and makes the game cluttered.

I think those horizontal over-head health bars are nice, though, at least for units, they should be half as large and maybe a little transparent, too, in my opinion.

Perhaps have settings for those? Things, Also you could have it default to not show bars at all but only show them when pressing alt?. Perhaps some combination of those?

fx
hold tab show units health , Buildings always show health bars.(default never show unit health bars always show buildings)
hold tab show both units and buildings health bars (default never show health bars)
hold tab show buildings health (default never show building health always show unit health)

Side note: I would hide the health bar if the unit/building is at full health and not in combat.

Sounds like a good idea Omega!
