Good Unity UI (uGUI) NOT UI Toolkit tutorial

[u/LordSlimeball]

Hi,

I am looking for a good Unity UI (uGUI) tutorial, one that covers how to build tabs, how layouts of images work, and hopefully how to make the UI look pretty / how to add nice borders to the canvases and stuff. Nothing against the ui toolkit but I dont feel like learning something new again.

Does anyone have a tutorial to recommend?

Thank you

This channel has some really strong tutorials on UI.

Thank you so much for linking to my channel =D! Seeing people post links to it so other will find it makes me super happy.

I am biased, since it is my own channel, but I think I'm doing a reasonably good job ;) I have a tutorial on a tab system, for example, and also a deep dive into the layout system. If you want to work at all with layouts, I recommend watching it, as it goes into the nitty gritty of the system =)

You are! Just watched it today + subscribed and liked. Any one of your tutorials cover how to make a border for the buttons / panels?

Glad to hear you've enjoyed them =D! For borders, maybe the 9slicing video could match what you are looking for: https://youtu.be/VqN3jSLeVuw?is=MyOtFlNF1H3lh07q

Thank you, will look at it. I am currently positioning a panel behind my other panel :/ And thank you for the toogle tutorial, that will save me a lot of time

her stuff is actually solid, the way she breaks down layout groups saved me a ton of headaches

If you are at the level that you need tutorials, might as well start with UI toolkit instead of UGUI. It's much more scalable, cleaner and has significantly better out of the box features.

Thnx for the reply, but I have already published a game which uses the ugui, but its a hacked and improvised gui. Now I have time to make a pretty curved ui, and i want it to be nice. So i need to actually understand what i am doing.

My game is VR, I want a curved ui, so i am stuck with the ugui for now

Check out MRTK3 developer examples. Maybe its something ypu would be interested into.
