I generally agree with @DeinFreund's points (and I might be able to do some of those changes over the Christmas break), but to break down some disagreements:

I
partially
agree,
the
colours
here
could
be
desaturated,
especially
the
red,
but
I
do
like
the
way
that
it's
immediately
obvious
that
the
numbers
differ
in
function,
and
I
find
it
way
easier
to
glance
and
see
the
income
and
drain
without
also
having
to
parse
position
or
the
use
of
'+'
and
'-',
which
would
be
more
taxing
on
the
brain.
This
element
should
retain
colour,
but
the
colours
could
use
some
revision.

I've never really liked this UI element (I have it on for casts pretty much only as an aid for editing/video descriptions). I mean, there is a playerlist you get from hitting Tab, but I can kinda see the point for team games, considering there isn't any display of the game's players in the load screen or anything.

I mostly agree, but in my experience the currently publicly available BAR selections widget doesn't have any of that animation, and doesn't have a selection preview when making a box (something I quite like about the default Unit Shapes widget). Maybe I just got the wrong version of the widget, I'm really not sure, though either way it would need some finagling to work with Epicmenu.

I thought there was an option to show the radar icons in the corner of each selected unit's box, but I might be mistaken. I suppose this would be worth a try, probably in the bottom-left corner, extending at most 1/3 of the box in either axis, since that's usually a spot where the unit image isn't. I am a bit concerned about it being noisy, but that's why I figure it's worth a try.

Good luck. The command panel is built to show the union of available commands and states for every unit type currently selected, so while there are shared elements, ensuring their placement is fixed may be untenable, especially once you get transports in the mix and there ends up being more than 18 buttons. I'd love this to be doable, but it would involve quite a bit of careful consideration of all the possible mixes of commands.
