Putting pieces together

[Viallynor]

Greetings,

I am trying to put some pieces together and am wondering about a few things. What I am trying to do is put the player, compass & clock window all together into one piece. the questions I have are probably simple and easy for those that are well versed with this type of thing.
Anyway they are:

1. If I take the clock and/or compass information and copy it into the player window, how do I get the default clock/compass to NOT show up?

2. Is it possible to trigger an event that would cause the player window to resize to show/hide said information? (for instance if a player choses to hide the compass, the player window decreases in size to that it wouldn't have a large blank space in it.)

Those will do it for now, I'll probably have more, but if anyone can help with these it would be great.

Thanks,
V
