When Godot was first released it wasn't exactly the belle of the ball. It has come a long way, and in this video we take a look at how the UI has evolved from Godot 1.1 to Godot 4.2. We then briefly compare the UI to the Unity and Unreal game engine. Then to finish things off we look at how to make things even nicer (in my opinion at least) using a custom theme from Passivestar, as well as adding Unreal Engine dock like functionality using the Asset Drawer addon.

    Thanks for showing how to use my theme! ♥
  • @dungeonmir
    "the interface that only mother could love" 💀💀
  • @kitty99288sjsw
    As someone who started with Godot 4, the first version was a jump scare
  • @dhad.
    Bro, you've just fixed my problem of not feeling comfortable using godot that i had for more than 3 years.
  • @AlexSmusiak
    The new theme and asset bar are huge improvement. Thank-you. I wish more engines would prioritize UI theming, as we spend a lot of time looking at the app.
  • @fcolecumberri
    I find the Godot default Dark blue quite warming in contrast to unity's gray/unreal's black which looks like taken out from 1990 (I am only talking about the color, not the design).

    Tbh, I can't imagine working with a horizontal FileSystem docker. It feels way too crammed and involves way too much scrolling for my taste. I usually even have the FS docker on its own column, so I can see a lot of folders and files on the screen at once and even then I still have to scroll a lot when the projects grow.

    glad im not the only one who doesnt really like the godot blue. the minimal theme is great, def need to try it out
  • @alzahelb6053
    Thank you sir, I downloaded Godot yesterday and I usually use Unreal but wanted to make a lighter project. I randomly stumbled upon your video and it basically sets up godot to the UE layout which I just love. With this I'm off to a good start !
  • @gokudomatic
    Yes, I see why you like that theme and plugin. It's indeed more appealing to the eyes.
  • @andresgrimminck8674
    Marvellous! I love this interface, Thank you for showing us this way of making godot prettier 😁
  • @tycho25
    I didn't think godot could look this good. Huge props for suggesting the asset drawer plugin, absolutely brilliant
  • @panampace
    Godot’s UI is honestly pretty flawless. It’s one of the first things people find appealing about the engine.
  • @DMitsukirules
    Thanks for the heads up. I agree with everything in this video and you just got me a new godot theme.
  • @Vorundor
    I got the theme and asset drawer, looks nice. I like having more space more my game/coding panel. I didnt use his colors though, I already had my preferred colors set up. :) Thanks for the video!
