Thanks for making your pictures available on that imgur account by the way - I used your CoH 2 UI picture to make a mockup of what I think would be my ideal interface. Some stuff is probably controversial (like moving the VPs and the global unit control) but I think the rest is an improvement.

Main UI (notice how the main bar is compacted, the resources are vertical, the VPs and global unit control are moved, and the minimap controls are compacted):

UI showing a unit/unit upgrade being hovered over (a T-34 in this case) (notice how it replaces the stuff in the main bar while you hover, because you'll be looking at it anyways so you can't be looking at the main bar too, and also notice how it lines up the resources so you can still compare costs):
Show Spoiler

UI with notifications + blizzard timer (notice how they don't take up side on the left of the screen, so all the UI elements stay at the bottom where they cover up the least amount of screen real estate and where your mouse will already be if you're clicking on the buttons on the right):
Show Spoiler

UI with hovering over doctrines (notice how I was too lazy to do a shitty Photoshop to show how this would look, but again the idea is that if you are hovering over something in order to read it, you won't be reading anything else so it makes sense to cover up the main bar):
