This requires a bit of scripting. But you can buy Pro Hud Pack 4. It's very good and works with x9 and x10.
For semi-transparent go into your editing program, click on the layer, and switch the transparency around til you get your preferred look. But the animated huds, as said above, require some scripting.
Here's a sample at what you're looking at, for after you've made your huds.
