Unity’s UI Toolkit comes with a lot of advantages compared to the traditional Unity UI (uGUI) system. It’s a more modern, flexible, and performance-oriented alternative that will scale much better for most projects. It’s also the futureproof UI system for Unity 6.0 and beyond. However, as it draws inspiration from web-inspired technologies, the learning curve for UI Toolkit can feel a little steep if you are not familiar with markup languages like HTML/XML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Admittedly, a lot of things have also changed over the years as new functionality has been added to UI Toolkit. But with Unity 6 now available, now is a great time to consider it for your next project. Over the last couple of years Unity has released several comprehensive tutorial projects like QuizU and the Dragon Crashers UI toolkit sample . We also released a 130+ page free ebook that can help get you started with UI Toolkit. However, if you’re completely new to UI Toolkit and just looking for a simple introduction, this article is a good place to start.
