I just thought it would be awesome if we could hide UI elements in the edit mode in order to work with other components.
It is possible to hide the whole UI by disabling Canvas, but sometimes you can forget about it and test the game after its compilation only to find out you forgot to put Canvas back on.
Just put it on a layer and set the visbiltiy to false
…and then set it to true before playing?
Like I said before, I could easily disable it, but sometimes you can forget putting it back on before testing game.
EDIT:
I found a Canvas checkbox in “Gizmos”, but it doesn’t hide anything, in fact it only hides the canvas’ rectangle area in scene.
UI stuff is already on the UI layer, so just disable that in the editor view. It’s not something you have to turn back on.
