In this repository is a collection of extension scripts / effects and controls to enhance your Unity UI experience. These scripts have been gathered from many sources, combined and improved over time.
The majority of the scripts came from the Scripts thread on the Unity UI forum here

We have expanded where you can download the UnityPackage asset and widened the options to contribute to the project.

To get started with the project, here's a little guide:
2023 is certainly an interesting year to keep you on your toes, and finding time to keep managing all the requests and updates that come in are taking their toll, especially for a FREE project, but nonetheless, I still do it.
Mainly bugfixes for the end of year update, promoting some resolutions that have been verified and tested since the last release.

For customers upgrading from earlier versions of Unity to Unity 2020, please be aware of the Breaking change related to Text Based components. You will need to manually replace any UI using the older Text component and replace them with TextMeshPro versions. This is unavoidable due to Unity deprecating the Text component.
New users to 2022 are unaffected as all the Editor commands have been updated to use the newer TextMeshPro versions.
For more details, see the deprecation notice on GitHub.
All deprecated Text based components now have "obsolete" tags, to avoid breaking code. Note, these do not function in 2022 and above, as Unity have "changed" things. For any affected component, I recommend updating to use TextMeshPro native features.
We recommend using the UPM delivery method. If you are using the Unity asset, there should be no issues updating but if you have a problem, just deleted the old Unity-UI-Extensions folder and import the asset new.
For the full release history, follow the below link to the full release notes page.
There are almost 70+ extension controls / effect and other utilities in the project which are listed on the following page:

All these scripts were put together for my latest book Unity3D UI Essentials Check out the page on my blog for more details and learn all about the inner workings of the new Unity UI System.
As this repo was created to support my new Unity UI Title "Unity 3D UI Essentials", in the downloads section you will find two custom assets (SpaceShip-DemoScene-Start.unitypackage and RollABallSample-Start.unitypackage). These are just here as starter scenes for doing UI tasks in the book.
I will add more sample scenes for the UI examples in this repository and detail them above over time.
