Using UI Layout Element - Inventory System in Unity P3

90% of what you're doing isn't Layout Element related, it's peripheral stuff

If I wanted to have an animated inventory, is it a case of just adding an animator and creating a Unity event for when you need it?

I use unity for years and didn't know anything about Layout Element component :D

thank you, helps

Can't you just use a single sprite that is both the inventory content and description instead of doing the 9 slice trick for the parent panels?

I ask because how will you do gradient coloring if it's one sprite each cut into 9 parts to avoid the distorting?

I basically just made the entire inventory panel UI into one sprite and was wondering if this is a practical solution?

For now, we stay in familiar territory... Thanks for using the Layout components and saving us the tedious calculations of the position of the inventory slots.
I have a feeling I'm going to love this series!
