Request: UI adjustments

Yes, yes sorry about the numerous times this has been requested over the years. I just wanted to rekindle on this on the new forum. No two people are the same and certain UI adjustments would be nice. I am sure the community has certain desires for additional options but here are the two that are most impactful to me.

Minimap
People have asked for minimap rescaling before. Personally, I do not think this is necessary and most likely will not be as easy to implement due to the current interface graphics presets. Instead provide the option to have the minimap on the right sight and the construction panel on the left. This is beneficial to the majority of the population who are right eye dominant (you can do a 2 second test to see which eye is dominant, use google). This should not be as difficult thing to implement as majority of the graphics are reversible or at least the two swapped sections are. This is also an industry standard across other games that have a minimap as part of their interface.

Resource Text
This is a kind of weird ask, but is a similar to the issue of the minimap problem. The resource text (minerals, gas, supply) is located an extremity on the top right of the screen. This is particularly annoying on larger screens where you will have to do an excessive amount of movement to glance between this, the minimap, and other elements. A solution is to be able to reposition this to where ever you would prefer. Hit a checkbox to enable a toggle to unlock and drag the resource bar anywhere on your screen. Above minimap on the left/right :wink: ? Maybe you wanna keep it top left but drag it closer to the center of the screen. Why not?

TL;DR - enable option for minimap on right side and enable moving the resource bar around.
