    No; you'd need to make your own GUI system using meshes or use an existing third-party system.

    yeah what i thought. wasnt sure if they changed anything in U3 as it relates to this issue.
    only concern with a mesh based gui is the lighting of it...

    You wouldn't light a mesh-based GUI at all.

    Spritemanager 2 would be good for you in this instance. It's what I'm using. Just create my sprites then add box collision and away I go. I was using GUITextures before for my menus, but with iPhone 4 i was getting issues of GUITextures not scaling and positioning to the correct place on the screen. I'm sure there's a technical (code) way of getting around this, but I decided to go down the path I know (which is SM2).
