    It's things like this that bankrupt small teams, infuriate big ones and push developers to quit unity, I'm working on a UI feature and it so happens that after years of working with unity for the first time I need a soft mask for UI, and I just found out that it doesn't exist. I actually found it funny in a very dark way, it's such an obvious feature. You have DOTS that no one asked for and no one is using, and you only have it for PR reasons, but feature as obvious as a soft mask for UI has not been implemented for more then a decade. It's unbelievable.

    2023 and Unity still does not support this basic feature despite the amount of funding it has, laughable at minimum.

    They ain't going to develop it for uGUI anymore either. If they are, I'd be surprised.
    But UI Toolkit masking is on the list of TODO. That'll take quite some time as well.

    All you can do is either implement it yourself or wait.
    But the waiting, you'll be waiting years.
    I hope Unity will make an investment on more UI devs to get some more development velocity in there.
    Their team isn't large and they're spread across multiple area's as well.

    I've complained multiple times about the development velocity but it doesn't seem Unity is going to do anything about it.
    I really love UI toolkit, but it'll take years before I finally actually use it. Soon™
