- Moved all editor-based files to the dedicated Editor folder; this includes all assets that are used in the editor only (scripts, resources, etc)
- Due to changes in the way the theme system works, you may need to reset your theme data file, sorry.
- This change allows for better integration into the Unity Theme system and reinforces a modular approach to resource creationThe theme stylesheet is now restricted to a Unity Theme (TSS) or Runtime Theme assets, previously you could use either but based on feedback it was confusing.
(To refresh, the StylingScratchPaper.uxml file is a UXML document with a single WindowFrame custom control placed so you can experiment with your stylesheets) - Properly created themes are now displayed in the Theme selector at the top of UI Builder so you can quickly switch scenes on the StylingScratchPaper.uxml document.
- Update the theme list with a new cleaner look
- Created several themes (Light, Dark, Pastel, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas) to better demonstrate the intended theme setup
- Added image and description for themes
- Added the ability to apply theme stylesheets to the Window Frameworks parent panel. When enabled the system will apply the stylesheets to the panel that the WindowFramework is using, making the styling available to all Visual Elements in the panel, not just the Window Frames.
- Added the ability to apply theme stylesheets to all panels. when selected, the system will attempt to find all active panels and apply the theme stylesheets to them.
- Stylesheets folder is now Themes. The Themes folder contains a sub-folder for each theme with all stylesheet (USS and TSS) files included.
- Seperated all stylesheets into individual items in each theme folder.
- Defined USS variables for styling options in all themes

Version 1.1.0

You can now add a Context Menu Activator manipulator to any Visual Element and enable right-click context menus,
- You must create the config object in code and pass it in at creation of the manipulator.
- For example,
If you have a Visual Element called`myNewElement`, with a menu config object called'myContextMenuConfig', then you would add the manipulator like this:
myNewElement.AddManipulator(new ContextMenuActivator(myContextMenuConfig)); - Moved all documentation to website to allow for faster updates.
