Modern UI Pack

Centralized UI Management and Workflow

Modern UI Pack is designed for developers who need a clean and minimalistic interface system that integrates directly with Unity’s native UI (UGUI). Unlike traditional UI setups where individual objects require manual adjustment, this package utilizes a dedicated UI Manager. This tool allows for global changes across the entire interface within seconds, ensuring visual consistency throughout a project. By centralizing the look and feel, the UI Manager reduces the time spent on repetitive tasks such as updating color schemes or font styles across multiple menus.

The workflow is further supported by specific editor tools integrated into the Unity interface. These tools enable the addition or modification of UI components without requiring external software or direct code manipulation. This approach is intended to streamline the development process, allowing creators to focus on layout and functionality rather than the technical overhead of manual component configuration.

Comprehensive Component Library

The package includes over 18 diverse UI elements, ranging from standard interactive objects to more complex data visualization tools. Developers have access to basic components such as buttons, switches, toggles, and sliders, as well as more specialized assets like pie charts and radial sliders. For navigation and organization, the pack provides window managers, modal windows, and horizontal selectors.

To assist with immediate implementation, the resource features a fully-functional demo scene. This scene demonstrates the intended behavior and aesthetic of the included components, which include:

Animated Icons and standard Icons
Dropdowns and Multi-Selectable Dropdowns
Context Menus and Tooltips
Input Fields and Sliced Borders
Notifications and Progress Bars

Recent updates have also refined the asset library, adding specific social icons like the Twitter X icon and updating existing ones like the Discord icon to maintain modern branding standards.

Technical Integration and Requirements

Modern UI Pack is built specifically for the native Unity UI (UGUI) system and is not compatible with the newer UI Toolkit (formerly UIElements). This focus on UGUI ensures that developers can continue using existing third-party UGUI extensions alongside the pack. A critical requirement for using this package is TextMesh Pro, which must be installed to handle all text-based components.

Compatibility extends across all major rendering pipelines, including the Built-in, Universal Render Pipeline (URP), and High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP). It also supports both the legacy input system and the new Unity input system, making it adaptable to various project architectures and target platforms listed in the Unity build window.

Version History and Project Maintenance

Originally published in 2021, the pack has undergone various iterations to improve stability and feature sets. Recent changelogs indicate fixes for UI Manager editor shortcuts and the addition of a ‘Check Dispose’ option for tooltips. For developers managing long-term projects, it is recommended to back up the Modern UI Pack directory before performing major updates to avoid potential conflicts with existing customizations.

While Modern UI Pack remains a robust choice for UGUI-based projects, it is also part of a broader ecosystem that includes Evo UI, which serves as a successor for those looking for the next evolution of the developer’s interface tools.

Practical Integration Note

When integrating the Modern UI Pack into a production environment, ensure that TextMesh Pro is correctly configured in your project first. Use the provided demo scene to verify component interactions across your chosen rendering pipeline, as the pack is designed to function across Built-in, URP, and HDRP environments without additional configuration.
