Hello, I am new to programming and defold. I went through the building blocks of defold along with gui manual. It mostly makes sense. I was looking for additional resources on how to make a responsive gui that will adjust to screen size. I did the color slide tutorial which had a little UI work, but seems to targeted at a specific window size. Are there any resources on how to create a flexible UI with buttons, sliders, data list, etc? I’m guessing stretch, anchors and pivot would probably come into play. Thank you. ---

I’m Insality glowing_star In this thread, I’ll be sharing some notes on How to make GUI in Defold. I’ve been working with Defold for over 6 years now, and during this time, I’ve gained a lot of experience with GUI. I hope some of my notes can be helpful for you! Feel free to share your own tips and notes as well. A big part of this section will be about [Druid](https://github.com/Insality/druid), as I believe it can make your GUI life much easier if you use it correctly… ---

Thank you, I did see that. The article seems centered around the additional dependency of Druid. I would like to learn what the base engine is capable of before adding additional complexity. Or is that really the only way to create a flexible layout in Defold? ---

I found a tutorial by Asatte games. I will take a look at that. ---

I read this tutorial the other day, which was helpful in terms of understanding the basics. [https://www.wisdevgames.com/course/05-oh-my-gui/01-introduction](https://www.wisdevgames.com/course/05-oh-my-gui/01-introduction) As far as I know, Defold doesn’t want to provide any ready-made GUI components or layout systems. You’ll have to either build them yourself (massive undertaking), or use community addons. ---
