Help making my UI look good at all (UMG and Slate)

Development Rendering

Currently I have a VERY simple UI. Two progress bars, one for health, one for fuel.

I’m trying to make it look good at all but these are some of my problems

  • For some weird reason I can’t add any blue. Like the blue value is locked to 0 (this doesn’t make it look bad per se but is a problem
  • No anti aliasing
  • When I add a picture that wraps perfectly, it’s got massive seams
  • I don’t seem to be able to make much/any control over the scaling/stretching of the picture
  • I don’t seem to have any control over the alpha channel for these, as far as fading into the actual 3D world (ideally I don’t have a background/empty colour on my slider, there would just be nothing

And so I’m also looking at Slate to take my wrapping images and make it look a bit better, or something. I find the lack of documentation difficult to deal with. Also can you use slate with BPs? (I don’t know any code)

ANY help is greatly appreciated

I generally dislike youtube tutorials (so slow) but I guess I will give them a go!

Thanks
