I must respectfully disagree. Having the HUD located in the center of the screen would obscure the current task, so I'm not sure how keeping it in the center would have any advantage in keeping the user focused on the current task. The global menu also opens from the top-left of the screen, so keeping the HUD there would also be more consistent with how regular menus work. If we were to also move the dash to the center for consistency, should we do the same for regular menus?
TBH it doesn't matter to me where the HUD is located, but I don't think the reasons provided here are strong enough to justify moving it to the center.
If centering is desired, then the HUD should just be able to maximize to fill the whole screen and have its contents "centered" in the same way the dash does (although as of right now from my testing the maximize button doesn't work for the HUD).
