Wow i did not get any notification that i was replied to!
Thanks for the reply and demonstration! This cleared up some of my confusion, after a bit of messing around with it.
Something i noticed was that you’re using a canvas panel here, and when i try using that as well and move stuff around and fiddle with material sizes and such, it works pretty well. However, it doesnt seem to work the same without a canvas panel. I generally try to avoid stacking canvas panels, so i guess thats why im having issues with it. it seems to be visualized much differently outside a canvas panel.
What i’m really looking for, is how to make a 9-slicer using materials. I want to be able to take any image i want, use it as a material texture, and then manipulate parameters to scale the material itself without using the default 9-slicer. this way, i can make all my stuff work within my lower level widgets, and they can work perfectly no matter where i design the widget, and without using canvas panels.
