Hi there! I'm Christina from Christina Creates Games over on Youtube. I'm a designer and teacher and tutorials on creating and working with Unity's UI system is what my channel is all about. Hope you will enjoy what I have to offer!
#Tutorials all about creating UI
novel pebble
My newest tutorial is all about the Unity Slider! This one covers all you need to know about the UI Slider - making it auto resize, customizing its graphics, accessing its value through a UnityEvent, how to get and set values by script, and how to play a sound once you let go!

This tutorial is all about UI Buttons:
- How to create a Button either with the right click menu entry or from scratch
- Explaining the parts of the button component and how they interact
- How to setup functionality, be it through the inspector or through code
- How to use the transitioning options (color, sprite and animation) and influence them through code, too
- What to do in case you can't click on buttons
Hope you'll enjoy it! I really enjoy going into detail on basics like this. Even if you already know most of this, maybe you'll still see something that's new to you!
This guide will walk you through all three Canvas Modes with examples: Overlay, Camera, and World Canvas. We'll also look into Canvas Scaler modes, how to structure your canvases effectively and see why it matters. Plus, we'll cover Billboarding and checking if your mouse is over the UI!
We are going to cover:
- Basics of how to structure UI into multiple Canvases and why
- How to check if your cursor is over UI
- Sorting Canvases
- The three different Canvas Modes (Overlay, Camera, World Space)
- Have a look at taking screenshots without the UI showing and why you probably want Camera Mode for that
- Placing UI into the world with World Space canvas and understanding how its scaling works
- Billboarding UI in World Space
- The three Canvas Scaling modes: Constant Pixel Size, Scale with Screensize and Constant Physical size
- Finding the base resolution to work with optimally
I hope you'll enjoy this and that it helps you when creating your UIs 
The Unity UI Anchors menu looks intimidating? I'll explain how to use it. We'll have a look at how anchors and pivot points determine where your game's UI elements sit on different screen resolutions, how those positions are calculated and how understanding them helps a lot in building a general UI layout as well as a modal window. Hope you'll enjoy it and learn something new!
You will learn how to set a Toggle up on the UI in Unity, how to get values from it by script, how to assign methods to it with code, how to work with toggle groups and how to add a bit of life and style to Toggle buttons with Squash and Stretch from a different tutorial :)
Hi everybody
This tutorial teaches how to create a toggle Switch system for your game's UI consisting of the switch itself and a Toggle Group Manager. Next tutorial will be about styling! Hope you'll enjoy it.
Previous tutorial has been on how to create a Toggle Switch System, this one focuses on styling options. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=673nETMP22Q Hope you will enjoy it!
This tutorial is all about the UI carousel! I explain how it will be setup and walk you through the inspector parts as well as the code. Its design can easily be customized and entries are done with Scriptable Objects.
I really hope you'll enjoy it!
Contents

Hi everybody
In my newest tutorial, I explain how to create buttons with three click modes, checking if the user clicked with the right, middle or left button. Might not sound terribly exciting, but have you ever worked with the selectable class before?
The selectable class can be used as an ideal base for customized UI elements that can be hooked up in our project's UI navigation and comes with transition modes, too. Working like that also means our right/middle/left click events show up in the inspector, too!
Hope you will enjoy this one

Hi everyone
This tutorial shows you how to create a menu item (or multiple!) for the right click menu in Unity, with and without conditionals - and hotkeys. This is incredibly useful to speed up your game development time.
It covers:
- Setting up UI prefabs
- Creating an Editor script
- Configuring the menu item with a name, icon, and hotkey
- Instantiating a prefab with proper parenting
- Validating the selection to show the menu only under certain conditions
Hope you'll enjoy it!

Hi
You will learn how to create an inventory slot for an inventroy system in my newest tutorial. This does not cover a whole inventory system, however - just the button, as that is the element almost all systems have in common.
It is basically a button with three modes: An action to perform on click, one on hover, a third on double click. This can be used for a lot of different use cases, but you will most likely primarily use it in an inventory system. This system works with the new input system and on mouse input as well as controller input.
This tutorial covers:
- Creating a new type of button especially suited for inventory systems
- Handling three kinds of events: On left click, on double click and on hover (enter and exit)
Hope you'll enjoy it!

@novel pebble Just wanted to say thanks for your most-recent video on creating custom Hierarchy menus. Was perfectly timed as I had a use case for it immediately for the project I'm working on.

Hi
This tutorial teaches you how to create a button that uses and displays modifiers to change its behavior (with the new input system).
A typical use case would be a resource management system, where one click takes an item, shift click takes multiple, alt click chops the stacks in two and so on.
Contents:
- OnClick events for no, one, two modifiers or both at the same time
- Notifier events for UI feedback
Hope you will enjoy it!

Hi everybody
My newest tutorial covers how to create Buttons you can assign Hotkeys to inside the Unity UI with the new input system.
This works for keyboard and controller.
This covers:
- Creating a hotkey script that listens to button input for keyboard and controllers
- Creating a Basic Button to still get visual feedback on button press
- Setting up keybinds in the Input Manager
Hope you'll enjoy it!

Thanks for the amazing tutorial, really helped far more than any other tutorials on anchoring UI elements did, easy to understand and covers all of it unlike others I've seen, so thanks for that

Hi
Over the last few weeks, I started turning my Unity tutorial videos into written ebooks. They all center around one specific Unity UGUI element and explore how to use it with a few use cases, all the needed scripts, lots of explanations and images, as well as the project files.
I started with five ebooks: The Unity Canvas and Canvas Scaler, Dropdown, Input field, Anchors and Pivots, as well as the Scroll Rect component. I plan to release more over the next couple of months - let me know which would be interesting to you (or vote on them on my Discord!)
For more infos, I showcase them in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXMkGliHMbY
You can find the ebooks on my itch page here: https://christinacreatesgames.itch.io/
Use cases are, for example:
- A scrollable text box
- Jumping to specific positions inside a scroll rect
- When/how to choose which Canvas Render Mode
- Responsive UI through Anchors and Pivots
- A map to zoom and scroll around in
- Creating a content carousel system
- Validated input fields for several input requirements
- Showing/Hiding input in a password field
- Multi-select Dropdown
- Dropdowns with images
I hope, these will help you!
If you have questions, just ask, please :)

Hi everybody
My newest tutorial shows you how to create a sound system to use for your UI in Unity. The system works with a central sound manager and a component to add to every element that should emit a sound when interacted with (and depending on the interaction mode you want to utilize).
It's simple to setup and maintain and can easily be used across projects.
Hope, you'll enjoy it!

It's a bit of a test balloon, but I made a short video explaining how to scale elements on the UI more easily: https://youtube.com/shorts/0i1_c8cTF4A?si=gnnRTeRFp1L-YII9
