NGUI 3 Support / Re: UI Panel to full screen?

« on: February 18, 2014, 01:25:10 PM »

Ok...So if you look at my OP you should see that I was doing exactly as ArenMook suggested, i.e. anchor to UIRoot with left to left, right to right with padding of 0. 

So, why was I getting the wrong behavior?   The answer, I had left a camera in the scene that shouldn't have been there.  I had the UI camera in the scene, but I also had another camera (the default one from unity) in the scene.  It was causing the strange behavior I was seeing (i.e. the sprites not filling the screen).

So, for anyone looking in the future, chalk this up to user error, and watch out for the extra cameras.

OK, maybe I am doing something I shouldn't...I use a UIPanel, set the clipping to constrain and then set it's size to the size of the UI Root (i.e. Anchor left, right, bottom, top to 0), then I set widgets as children of the panel, and then set their size relative to the panel.    My initial thought was that I could get the UI to take the full screen this way, but maybe I shouldn't do it that way?

Ignoring that I am using a panel then, how would I make a sprite the full size of the screen?  Say a background sprite that was tiled?   Should I have it anchored to UI root, or some other method?

NGUI 3 Support / UI Panel to full screen?

« on: February 14, 2014, 11:29:12 AM »

Hi all.   I am trying to do something that I think should be simple, but in practice is eluding me.   I would like to have a UI Panel take the full screen, and the controls it contains to move relative to the position of the panel after it gets its resolution. 

I started out by anchoring (with the new system) the UI Panel to the UIRoot and simply setting left: 0, right: 0, bottom:0, top:0 thinking this would inherit the UIroot size and therefore be the fullscreen.   However, this isn't the case, I get the full screen in height, but not width (this is with pixel perfect or fixed on mobile with a height max of 900).   Also, when I do this my widgets move after I hover over them (especially buttons which have a tween scale on them), and go off screen.   

So, my real question is:  how do I get a panel to be full screen?   and should I even be trying to scale the UI to full screen, what is the best practice here?   I want a program that can be used on mobile, but also pc?

Thank you in advance.

Is this advice still valid after the latest release?  UIStretch is deprecated right?   so how would one do this now?
