Core GUI

Documentation | WebGL Demo | Git (Request Access) Core GUI is an abstraction from traditional Immediate Mode GUI (IMGUI) with more flexible and rich API to get you up and running for more complex UI quickly. Requires .NET 4.x enabled in Player Settings to run examples (see notes in the end) What Core GUI is designed for? Core GUI is designed for programmers who like to get functional UI quickly without hassle from being tied with GameObjects and Script Callbacks. Similar with IMGUI, you can write entire UI logic inside OnGUI() call from MonoBehaviour, with only difference is you use methods from CoreGUI rather than GUI or GUILayout. Core GUI is intended to be a complete replacement of GUILayout. Both CoreGUI and GUILayout is not compatible each other. However, you can always call GUI methods using coordinates returned from CoreGUI. What Core GUI is NOT designed for? Core GUI is not designed for artist or game designer who like more freedom in artistic part of UI. Core GUI is only accessible via script and will never have visual editor bundled inside this asset. What is the benefit from having to code with Core GUI rather than regular GUI? The most important benefit of using Core GUI is that it provides abstraction layer to what is only available to Editor GUI -- ranging from ColorField, EnumPopup until Custom Color Dialog, Confirmation Dialog and Progress Dialog. Core GUI also uses completely separate layout system to have less GC overhead while getting extra features that also not available like label controls, custom DPI scaling, sending custom events, custom keyboard navigation and animating layouts between transition. This package contains full source-code of CoreGUI Scripts and one custom GUISkin designed for it. It also has been tested to work on all platform that Unity supports, although user experience might be differ. Feedback and questions about Core GUI and anything related to immediate-UI is welcome through email support. Notice for .NET 4.x requirements: CoreGUI works for both legacy .NET 3.5 and stable .NET 4.5, however all script examples requires newer .NET version for maximum readability. We advise you to upgrade .NET version in Player Settings, otherwise keep proceed by removing entire "Sample" inside CoreGUI folder.
