    Hi!
    I have trouble understanding how to scale UI in order to make it look roughly the same on all resolutions.
    I've tried the Canvas Scaler but it seems I can't interact with the UI in the way I want without messing something else(for example, if I manage to give it the right size on the editor I find it moved towards the center on the simulation).

    I've also tried to check on google but maybe I'm not using the right keywords.

    Anyone knows where I can find videos or documentation for what I'm trying to learn? :)
    TY!

    Thx for replying. :)

    The settings I use for the moment are

    UI Scale Mode: scale with screen size

    800 600

    match width or height

    width-height bar=0

    Reference Pixels per Unit=100


    It works and that's good :) The problem is that I've managed it with trial and error, and not really understanding what impact every single setting has on the scene itself, so I'm quite pissed because I'm programming for fun but especially to learn. :)

    To be honest, I've used them, and most of the times it gives me no problem. I still can't understand when to keep all the 4 arrows together and when to separate them though.

    Also, generally I put the anchor in the closest border center or border corner to the object I want to anchor. Is that all right?
    Sorry, maybe is very simple, but, when you don't know, everything is hard :)
