    What am I missing? Using latest 2020.1.0b
    My filters are correct

    Edit2: found it after 1 hour of confusion...

    Edit1:
    Removed rant about the typical unity user experience after one hour of trying to get a package to work and the smart decision to hide the preview package setting in a totally empty page in the project settings

    But I found my "UI Builder" now and I have "UI Elements" Samples, still no UI Toolkit /s

    We'll have an update on the UI Toolkit package soon.

    Worth re-iterating though that UI Toolkit is a rebrand of UIElements, and most of UIElements is in the core Unity product. You don't need any packages to use it (that's where the UIElements Samples comes from too). The UI Toolkit package will just add runtime support on top of existing APIs. So you can still get started with UI Toolkit with no packages installed (or, if you prefer, the UI Builder package which for creating UXML/USS assets more easily).

    Is it currently advisable that we make runtime UI with this system for full products rather than prototypes?

    I would wait for the official announcement of the package but if you already found it (and it doesn't have the words "runtime" or "builder" in the package name), then it will be fairly safe to start building with it. Again, details will come...soon.

    The UI Toolkit package will first release in "preview". Let me quote this from the 2020.1 documentation:

    Preview packages are packages that are not production-ready and you should only use them for testing and to provide feedback.​

    https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/Manual/pack-preview.html

    So it is advised that you wait later in the release process before using it in production.

    Scaling in "in game" view seem to be bugued. it take the entire screen whatever the setting/style I use (did not happen with the previous unreleased package version).
    Guess there is still work to do.
    Keep up the good work Unity, can't wait to have the official runtime version ;)

    If you're looking to try out the new package, add 
    "com.unity.ui": "1.0.0-preview.3"
    to Packages/manifest.json.

    Remember to update your old PanelRenderers to UIDocuments and create Panel Settings to add to the new UIDocuments components.

    P.S. This package breaks the current Device Simulator package. You can use this package and update the Device Sim package code yourself for now, but that's another can of worms.

    Yes that's what I'm using, in Unity 2020.1.0b12.3931.
    I'll try to update to 2020.1.0b14 without much hope.

    Hi everyone,

    You can head over to the official UI Toolkit preview package announcement post if you want more information on getting started.

    Cheers,

    Hey @WAYN_Group, I just noticed that by adding a UI Toolkit Event System to the UIDocument game object on your example the icon gets sized the right way. We're working on actually fixing this so we don't depend on the Event System, but if you want it to work in the meantime, you can try that out. Let us know how it goes! :cool:

    Hi, @JuliaP_Unity.

    Thanks for the work around, it works fine in the editor. I still have my other issue with the custom element not working in builds but at least now, I can keep on improving the UI and testing it in editor while waitting for afix for the build side.
    Plus, I guess I'll need the event system to make my Ability UI interactible and accually trigger the ability ;)
