HUD -- can you modify font color and size or location?

When you show the HUD, I know you can move the blue text block with aircraft status around the screen. When I display the Coordinates, the red text box is stuck in the upper left corner. Can this text block be moved around the screen too? I can't get a hold of a "corner" of the block to do so.

Also, can the font size and/or color be changed for either text block? The blue color isn't so bad but that red is very hard for me to see.
 
At least the blue HUD text isn't hardcoded, I've changed mine. Look for <HUDText Color="0xFF0000FF"/> - the first two digits are opacity, after that normal RGB so basically OORRGGBB.

No idea about the red one, it may be fixed. At least nothing in that file.

I can confirm re blue!
 
I have made changes to viewui.xml but they don't seem to get loaded. Is there another step to make them active?
 
I just stumbled upon my own answer... there is a user copy of viewUI.xml in AppData\Roaming.

If I could change that red coordinate text I would be a happy camper.
 
It's the AppData one that needs changing, for example, this is one of mine
