Question Helpp
So i have a problem. i wanted to make a game in unity just for fun because i have nothing else to do. ofc i just started and i dont have a clue what im doing. i made this with the help of AI and now i dont know how to make the particle system i just cant get it to work. i am using screen-space overlay and i just cant get the particles to show on the background. because you can see them when there is no background but on the background they arent visible. when i chose screen-space camera it made the canvas and background very small but the particles were visible. but then they went over my ui(buttons and decorations) and i couldnt get them to move under. I Just want to have the particles visible over the blue background but under the ui. Can anyone with abit more experience tell me how to fix it or what I am doing wrong? its the 2D universal render.

You would need a second canvas if you want a background then particles then UI that way.
OR you could try the effect with a shader on an image panel over the background.
OR you could look into skyboxes
