Question: Using many views with NGUI

[grimatoma]

Using NGUI is great and I have been using it for a few years. I have noticed when using NGUI if I want to have multiple panels that I can switch between all of the objects are present but hidden at the start. With many views I am worried that this is bogging down the project.

Is there a proper way as to handle a game with many detailed screens, like 10 - 20 of them or is NGUI not intended for this?

Disabled objects don't have any effect on performance. In Windward I keep all my UI present in the scene from start, just disabled. I then enable the panels I need -- such as inventory, world map, menu screen, etc.
