I just downloaded 2023.1a8 is it there already? If no is it still planned for 2023.1 release?
Soon™ as usual. It has been on the roadmap for a long time now.
Always makes me wonder how many ppl are actually working on UI toolkit. Considering how slow it is progressing.
I kinda expected the binding feature by now as well as the additional UI style properties and world space UI.
When Visual Elements (its previous name) came out, I was very excited and saw the great possibilities for new UI. 5 years later and we’re still at basics. They’re converting the engine UI bit by bit to UI Toolkit though it seems. So that’s an improvement over IMGUI. Even UGUI was better than IMGUI when it got released. But UGUI just isn’t performant when you have a UI heavy application. It is what it is, it just takes them a lot of time to develop. I absolutely love UI Toolkit, but progression is slow.
I would love to have a sneak peak, even if it is just a Unity blog. Just talking about the approach for the new binding system would be nice. Explaining how it is supposed to work without a functional prototype is even better than the silence that we get every time again and again. Not just the UI Toolkit package, but others as well.
