When you add children to a *UniformGrid *you’ll need to specify which column & row they occupy. If you add children manually, you can set it up in the details panel of every child (as default they sit at [0,0] I think - so yeah, they will stack on top of one another). If you spawn them dynamically, which is your case, you’ll need to assign row & column as you populate the grid.
Here is a child widget I’m going to add to the UniformGrid –> [wGridChild]:
- padding in the widget root [wGridChild] will prevent it from touching other children
- the border will keep whatever you place inside centred, according to the alignment settings and padding
