    Hey people, loving the new toolkit.

    Is there a way to have a button with an onclick event that isn't a rect?

    Say I have a circle for a button and I don't want interaction to cover the entire bounding box, or a hexagon pattern where I don't want rows to block interaction between each row at the overlap.

    Thanks in advance,

    The only way to do that right now would probably be to create a custom class inheriting from Button, and override the ContainsPoint() method.

    Code (CSharp):
    1.  
    2.     public class CustomShapeButton : Button
    3.     {
    4.         public override bool ContainsPoint(Vector2 localPoint)
    5.         {
    6.             return ** custom implementation here **;
    7.         }
    8.     }
    9.
