    Unless I am missing something it looks like we can't access the UXML or default USS for the visual elements included in UIElements. If I wanted, for example, to make my own custom slider it would be nice if I could access the source for the built in slider to use as a starting point but currently I don't think this is possible. Are there any plans for having the prebuilt elements open sourced somewhere?

    Hi,

    Currently you need to resort to using the UIElements debugger to inspect the styles.
    You can also add the same USS class as the default elements as a starting point and then easily override the styles to your needs.

    Would be great seeing this source to help in learning how to develop UIs that looks similar what exist currently. Thanks for tip on debugger though, will use that for now.

    Thanks for the feedback, the default style sheets are generated at build time so it's not as simple as putting them on github.

    I agree it would be useful so I added a task to our backlog.
