-the color bars are narrower than before (= less accuracy)
-the whole layout takes more space vertically

Anyone can see the problems in this picture below, at left side.
On the right side is a suggestion on how to fix it.

-put names back to the bars
-make bars taller (the space between bars can be reclaimed) and keep the original width
-add ONLY the current number on the bar with a color that does not distract seeing the bar, but can be read if one needs the info. The max number is irrelevant info. It can be seen when the bars are full. That should be enough.
-make the number move along with the decreasing bar so that the missing health or mana, the black area, is clearly visible.
