Each feature can be toggled from the settings window.
To access the settings window start SlimHUD again, while it's already running. The settings window will appear:
Here's are some of the things you can customise:

If you don't like the flat look of the bar you can enable a shadow effect.

Continuously check for changes (recommended if you use a TouchBar): shows the HUDs when using the volume / brightness slider.
-
Each bar (volume / brightness / keyboard's backlight) has it's own color.
You can also choose the color of the volume when its muted.
-
Each icon (volume / brightness / keyboard's backlight) also has it's own color! 1

If you think that the default bar is too small you can easily adjust its size.
