    I just saw this in change-log for b4:
    • UI: Adding the ability to use Sprite Tight mesh inside Unity UI
    https://unity3d.com/unity/beta/unity2018.3.0b4

    Really great that we can use tight packing now in the UI, very useful to reduce overdraw. I immediately gave this a try with a cross-hair, but the generated mesh isn't a good approximation of the shape. It works really well for a square though.

    Is there any chance the mesh generation can be improved? Perhaps expose settings to allow the user to control the generation to some degree. Things like a knob to allow the tool to generate more detailed meshes, for example to trade vertices against overdraw.

    I previously made a custom implementation for this that used the sprite's physics shape or outline. Having the same ability to modify the mesh in SpriteEditor would be great.

    @Peter77 @Yozaro You can control how tight the mesh boundary of the sprite through
    SpriteEditor -> Custom Outline Window -> Outline Tolerance (0-1) -> Generate.

    Please let us know if this is what you are looking for.
