Why is the UI so weird? Help please.

Unity Engine

Hi,

Why is the UI so complicated and weird? I just want some text in a box but than in the editor it looks good, than when I change it in the editor to a weird position, it is good in game, but than when I play it on my mobile device it is at a different location again. Why can’t I just make it for the editor, ingame and mobile device on the same position. Really the UI system with this canvas is so complicated and I don’t understand it even when I watch some video’s. Btw, my editor aspect is 16:9

I haven’t played with the unityUI, but did watch a few UI videos too. kissUI is just getting started (im working on it), and I hope that new developers aren’t overwhelmed when designing a UI.

Could you also share what are the other things that put you off, when trying to create your UI? I’m very curious too. :slight_smile:

Sorry, and Thanks.

Did you see this video?

If this does not help let me know I actually program and deisgn UI’s for a living… I would be happy to help.

Also pics, videos are good when showing your issues. Good luck!

My biggest problem is that the position and size changes when you switch from editor to ingame. Also I don’t understand the canvas and the position of the canvas. I would just like to see my editor and than type something or place an image where ever I want.

Should I send some pics or my project? Btw I have seen that video, but still don’t understand it.
