I know I'm coming into this really, really late - but why is the threat meter in a separate window at all, rather than a gauge/display in the target window?
Not sure how GM9 did it for Profit, but for ThorUI I put the flames as a background image in the target window, with the threat number in the corner. I was tweaking with adding a gauge as well, similar to the health meter, but wasn't completely happy with how it looked - I may come back to this later.
There's not really a lot of windows that can be combined without losing some function, but those two definitely could be tweaked to one. Compass to map/minimap might be another, but I'm more iffy on that, since some people toggle the minimap to save screen space, and others still use the old map system.
Short version, I think the first step in designing a base HUD is minimalizing the number of windows which need to be included.
