Actually this upgrade to 3.0.0 is very hard to maintain. I also had a lot of issues and spent half of day solving depth issues and reducing draw calls. Please note that I do not have any problems with sandwich panels in previous versions of NGUI, and for me its Panel structure was clear. But in new version after NormalizeDepth is called everything is messed up, if you have GUI that shows/hides its parts. I really wait for update that will make this depth issues more controllable.

Try 3.0.2, 7realm. You can specify depth on panels now, thus adding a new clear layer of separation.

P.S. Love the review this guy left on the Asset Store, blaming NGUI for issues with the Asset Store:

Because they were not asset store issues.  If I imported into a new clean project I got 3.0.1.  But when I tried to delete NGUI folders, save, exit, and re-import into my existing project I kept getting the importing saying version 3.0.0.

As I said MANY MANY MANY times, it does download.  I even deleted the file and could see it getting another copy.  So it wasn't the asset store.  It was some state that NGUI got stuck in.

Furthermore, I didn't disable the draw calls on the panel.  Objects were going/on/off just by moving the mouse cursor in game. (play mode)  Some internal state must have got corrupted or was buggy and causing this.  As another note, the update to 3.0.2 did however work for whatever reason.

There is no dark magic there. NGUI is not conspiring against you. NGUI doesn't store some magic state of its download that it stucks on. It's a UI library. It has nothing to do with its own download.

Think about it logically.

Same for the panel state. You didn't disable anything, that's correct. You simply folded one of the draw call fold-outs on the UIPanel. In 3.0.2 I added code just for you that would force it to be on, and reset as soon as you hit Play. How did I know this? Because it's exactly what I was saying was causing it -- so you can deny it all you want -- but that's what it was caused by.

NGUI is a tool. It doesn't conspire against you, and it certainly doesn't hate you -- but it does have some code in it that may not prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot if you are not familiar with it. As people such as yourself stumble upon such things I clean up the rough edges and make it more difficult to do so in the future.

Terra: Just to make it entirely certain; you're not going by the version that's in the readme file name, are you?

The name doesn't change when you update on the asset store - it's a limitation of how the assetstore works. You have to look inside the readme file to see the actual version of the package.

There's been many people who thought they had an old version because the readme file was named something stupid readme2.0.1 when it was actually 2.5, so there's no shame in admitting that - if that's the case. :)

I can just say that I spent about 8 hours upgrading to version 3.0, and honestly, I love.  I love it.

Huge improvement.  People who have upgrade issues, just work through them and be patient.  Oh, and have a backup just in case.
