@@wiktorwektor123 true, be it taken from the positive feedback they saw on my posts or coincidence. Once 4.3 eventually releases I'll just be left with adding the shortcut.

[@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).

[@lolcat69]

when I think about the 90's I think of white theme, like, blender 2.0, not really dark themes...

[@LaynaStambaugh]

I mean to be fair Unreal's fundamental design philosophy IS from the 90's but. Yea that's fair

[@rineddy]

"Asset Drawer" plugin becomes obsolete with Godot 4.3 : - You can dock the "FileSystem" panel at bottom - You can configure a shortcut : Editor Settings > Shortcuts > Toggle last opened Bottom Panel : CTRL+SPACE

[@whatmusiciwant]

On 4.3.Stable, running Asset Drawer. He must have patched it

[@skaruts]

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.

[@johankleijn6292]

Same with having the node tree and properties combined on the right. I work as an engineer usually and use Autodesk Revit, This is also the default there and its horrible you always need to scroll so much. Its way better to sacrifice a bit of real estate on screen to have it all visible. If you need more model view, just buy a higher dpi display

[@XMaster340]

Thank you, that's exactly what I was thinking! The horizontal file manager wastes so much space and due to its inconsistent width across different monitors, I never quite know in what column my file will be. Godot's vertical list based approach is so much clearer, cleaner and space efficient.

[@panampace]

Same I disagree with pretty much all the choices in this video. If you want more screen real estate for the editor pane there’s a keyboard shortcut to make it full screen.

[@ritzenhauf]

That file system dock is for people used to other mechanics. I don't really have room for anything that inflated, but can see possible value in assets existing in disappearing drawer-style areas.

[@MrRobsn89]

I use a lot of panes in their own window on a second monitor including the code editor..

[@YouTubsel]

"Like Maya brought out the QWERTY keys ... everybody should adobt that" *Blender stares intensely from the other side of the room From an aesthetics point of view I would consider Godot functional looking and getting better. I also kinda like unreal the best, even though I would ALWAYS prefer a responsive UI over a pretty one. And Unreal on lower end hardware can be very unresponsive.

[@rubberduckdebug]

Remember when you needed a paid Unity licence to use the dark theme? Had to pay them to make your eyes not bleed. People used to patch the editor binary to unlock it without a licence. Glad it's not a thing anymore, it was so stupid.

Tbh Godot's starting to need an UI revamping sort of what blender 2.8 did

[@MangaGamified]

I'm not a programmer but even I don't want to take on the task that's subjective. Unlike programming a feature say makes the software run faster/smoother, everyone sees that and appreciates that, but UI is very personal and subjective, idk who wants to take on that task. The best I would do is make a theme manager with import and export theme options like Zbrush, and the subjective part will just fall to the user or community.

[@me_________9975]

@@MangaGamified Godot's way of customizing UI is already quite good. You can make themes really different to the base to suit your likes. However, stuff like animated dropdowns, selection wheels, property tabs, all of that can improve an UI a lot and I feel like most people wouldn't say they don't like them, cause that's basically improving on usability. That's what blender 2.8 did. Of course I don't got any idea of c++ UI programing either, so I wouldn't even dare to try on making it xD

[@panampace]

Hard disagree. Godot’s ui is excellent as is. I wouldn’t mind some revamping to the 3d scene editor but that’s it.

[@containedhurricane]

[@somedude5951]

Unreal's Ui looks te best, but I disagree on bleu not being okay. Contrary, blue is often used in composition for backgrounds, since the sky is bleu. And lakes or sea, ocean, very often are background. There is some sane logic behind the choice of blue. Blue can also be use to express distance, especially in landscapes.

[@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 !

[@Argoon1981]

Today tools aesthetics to me means zero, what I care more about is power, stability and usability. Tools are not games or art they don't need to be pretty they need to work well. I have been bitten hard by caring to much about tool aesthetics before, I've seen really bad game engines, with tools with pretty GUI's but those tools were very unstable and under powered. I have also used engines with tools that looked like Windows XP apps but that were rock solid and very powerful. The best is a mix of the two but that in my experience is hard to come by.

You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman, and my actual hero right now.

[@Rai2M]

I *feel* like Godot's UI is kinda large where it's unnecessary and really uncomfortably tiny where you need larger icons or buttons or whatever. Wish they had modern Blender look. The old Blender was light-gray plastic look and feel and i hated it so much i didn't use Blender. But i do use it since they changed the UI.

[@panampace]

Godot’s UI is honestly pretty flawless. It’s one of the first things people find appealing about the engine.

[@ghostradiodelete]

Is it? I think it's terrible. One of the things I dislike the most about the whole project to be honest. I'm with Mike and prefer Unreal, it's way more professional looking and the Godot logo is weird, too. Actually when I first saw the logo I thought it was a game engine for kids.

[@panampace]

@@ghostradiodelete I like the logo cuz it makes me think of retro games but ngl it is pretty kiddy. I hated Unreal’s UI, so dated looking and more like a “modding engine” than professional software, maybe it’s better now since I tried it

[@ginemginem]

There are some spacing issues here and there. For example, the hierarchy is unclear in the transform section of the inspector.

[@asandax6]

Not me I hated it and this theme just made Godot a whole lot better.

[@royportillo]

@@panampaceI felt that way about Unreal 4’s interface. Very dated. But after the UI update with UE5, it’s significantly less dated and more modern looking. Just a bit overwhelming with menus and properties

[@dannradd9526]

This is great , definitely something I will use. I was planning on making something to this effect , the moment I opened up the Godot theme my head just exploded at the bulk. Godot really needs to rework it's theme engine working with it is such a headache far from being user or programmer friendly.

[@jorgiz0]

I usually just change the default colors and thats all i need. but the theme is actually really great

[@Paul-zh2jp]

all the UIs are good enough and relatively similar in practice to me. they could all be improved a lot in terms of ux and organization, but the colors are the least of my concerns

[@gudsonseven8351]

I came from BGE (the engine inside older versions of blender) and the biggest thing I missed in godot is the possibility to add, remove and change the tabs. As an example, I used to let 2 tabs on right, with scene objects and the properties, while the main part of the screen was filled with the 3D view and at the bottom the scripting tab. Everything was easy to access easy, if I want more focus (ou more space for text) in one tab, a shortcut would make it fullscreen, and if I was doing things like animation, was just a matter of changing the bottom tab to the animation editor. It was hard to get used to not move everything whenever nedded

[@7DragonEyes7]

Happy that you find a theme you enjoy. Unreal has the worst UI/UX IMO, but I'm a programmer that learned using Unity. Godot default is good enough for me, but now I know how to customize the theme when I want.

[@contentatogames]

The nice, clean, comfortable look of the current 4.0 interface is perfect. They've done a great job tweaking it each iteration.

[@SeasonalMike1]

I don't get the hate behind the blue theme, it's not distracting to me but it's more comforting.

[@humman007]

Unity have always aesthetic between interface of Windows XP and old school iMac and only few years ago finally got a dark mode, nobody ever talk about any fancy editor themes

[@TheMrTka4]

I only work in Godot, but I really like the way UE4 looks and the way the interface elements are placed in Unity, although those corners in Unity will cut your eye. I tried your suggestion right away. I really liked how the interface shrunk down decently. I remember in the Godot community discussing how the engine has an exessive use of outlines and some elements have well, a lot of extra lines that just take up interface space. I also noticed how the square corners of all of Godot's buttons and fields have been smoothed out, and I really like that. All modern apps have been without square buttons for a long time now, and this change has modernised Godot quite a bit :D I've been wanting to try a similar layout for a long time, but have had a hard time with the file system. The file system asset was the cherry on the cake, it really did get better with it. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@slizgi86]

Only thing that I care within a tool to have a dark theme, rest what is more important is UX, lack of weirdness and performance. Maybe unreal in UI in this version is quite nice, but UX is same craziness that was in Unreal since forever. In short, nothing is matter except dark theme.

[@ProrokLebioda]

As someone working for my company as Tools Programmer I need to check if our editor has Ctrl+Space show/hide functionality (not this key combination as it can be rebinded, but overall functionality). If it doesn't I guess it's time to get inspired ;)

[@kurushimee]

Considering only out-of-box experience, Unity is pretty much the only mainstream engine that is hideous. Its UI is super cluttered and the design overall is not aesthetically pleasing. UE5 is the best-looking one, and Godot 4 is fine, it certainly doesn't look bad at all. And now, considering Godot 4's most options for customisation, it is the best in that department. Just its ability to change the general color scheme already makes it stand out.

[@PretendCoding]

It's funny how UE4 was one of the roughest, and it went in UE5 to looking the best

[@DavidSchiess]

As somebody coming over from UE, this was a godsend - thank you so much for showing the possibilities!

[@bryanandersonmt]

I totally agree about the CTRL+Space opening the asset browser from unreal engine, every single engine show copy that, after using that and going to a different engine it feels like such a chore to find the asset browser

[@bensdecoypoondummy1189]

Oh.. thats odd to hear. I personally thought Godots default UI was actually quite visually appealing and intuitive in 4.0 But as you said, eye of the beholder I guess :P

[@crafterofbeer]

In terms of aesthetics, I definitely think Unreal Engine looks the best. Unity has always looked gross to me (especially back when they made dark mode a paid-only feature), and Godot has always looked... fine. Not amazing but not ugly with an f.

[@RebelliousX]

After staring at Godot engine for many hours with default colors hurt my eyes. I found that when I changed the contrast and changed the colors to very dark green and dark green in general, I can code for many hours without eye strain at all. Dark Green is very majestic and easy on the eyes for me. And it is much nicer than the one shown on this video too, I wish I can show it here.

[@The-Anathema]

It would have been nice to show a godot4 stock vs godot4 themed side-by-side at the end, it's easy enough to bootleg it up with skipping between timestamps but it would have been nice anyway, something to keep in mind for future videos in this style perhaps (ideally showing the exact same scene as well)? For anyone else wanting to do this: 3:34 & 10:34 Now I actually don't hate godot4's (especially compared to stock godot 2 which I used enough to develop Stockholm syndrome) factory look & feel, but I do agree that the minimal theme, asset drawer, and theme tweaks takes it up a notch!

[@tacticalassaultanteater9678]

[@ghostradiodelete]

I made some comment on this a while back, maybe a month ago, and someone posted their dream interface for Godot and it was worlds better. I think Godot's interface is still ugly as sin and much prefer something like Unreal, but I really hate working with Unreal and would choose Unity over the other two if not for that fact of Unity the company. I'm still using Godot, for now.

[@ajharbeck2075]

I got started in Game dev using Godot 3 and have 4, and when I tried Unity out I thought that it was ugly and outdated looking in comparison to Godot. I hate the 3d navigation in Unity it seems wonky and weird to me, and if you have multiple assets/prefabs that look similar but have subtle differences you can't tell them apart at a glance in the folder because the Titles are cut-off halfway, then imagine a big game project with hundreds of these and you have to hover over them and look down in the corner to see the full title! I hope you can change that in the preferences. Yeah I think Godot's UI is much cleaner, don't mind the blueish gray, if you can change the color yourself that's cool too.

[@PurpleKnightmare]

I like the blue theme, but supported custom themes with fonts, and theme maker that include fonts would be awesome for Godot. Also not always open in full screen, and open in the last state you had it in would go awesome.

[@REOsama]

Honestly, that first version looks charming, like a childs doodle

[@Egg_Knight]

Do I have to download and install the asset drawer to every project manually? Also, do I have to set the theme for every project as well? I'm new to godot and though I don't have many projects I don't want to go through all of them and set this up one by one if it's not necessary.

My guess with the blue is that is a somewhat in-between dark and light color, so dark mode devs are not being blinded and light mode devs dont find it too dark to complain. Blue is also a really good color for making something both a bit more approachable and appealing.

[@AleksandarPopovic]

Certainly, I'd be happy to assist with that. As for the matter of switching between engines, I can see how that would make sense. While it doesn't personally bother me, I understand that it can be a concern when it comes to rendering on Windows. It is quite remarkable that there is competition in this area. Is there anything else I can help you with?

[@rocksquared]

I kinda have to disagree with some of your way of judging a good or bad looking UI. You judge UI looks mostly by the colors (very easy to change stuff), I judge it by the quality of the polish and pixel perfect mindset (elements size accuracy, consistency of the layout, pixel accurate spaces, etc, that is much harder to get right or fix). -Godot 1 UI was not the prettiest one, but still very far from ugly, it was already very consistent, and have near pixel perfect layout already. -Unity has a very clean and classic style, that is also pixel perfect, much more than UE5... yes it has a white top bar... it's not worth sh**ing on it for such a detail. It's still overall pixel perfect clean. -UE5, is much better than UE4 that was absolutely the ugliest thing possible, but it has text not center properly in the text fields, messy names everywhere, inconsistent windows looks, project settings has horrible dotted underlines for categories, plugin windows is a mess and is packet with fugly icons - or not, the modeling part on the software is the most disgusting UI ever with buttons place next to each other with no care, no size consistency like a UI from 95, etc... So, be careful before saying one UI is beautiful, and another is ugly, you have strong biases. In the end, I agree with you regarding Godot 4, they should go for a clean dark grey look rather than the blueish current one.

[@LiPolygon]

The way you had your Godot set up by the end reminds me a lot of Cinema 4D

[@vrabo3026]

4.3 finally got rid of the "baby look" of Godot, it lets you completely remove the weirdly large borders in Godot's interface and even lets you place the file manager at the bottom like Unity and Unreal. I'm so happy about that aesthetic change since I had a bad first impression when I first saw what the engine looked like. Also, I remember you said you never liked the start manager having the project name and file path backwards, but now in 4.3 you can do it how you'd expect; name the project first, then set the file path second. It autocompletes the path name based on the name you gave it in real time!

[@matheus-pese]

I always liked godot design better than unity's. Even old godot compared to unity. More even if you compare to unity's light mode.

To be fair. While I think Godot could look better, I think Unity has always looked ugly. No that I necessarily always no where to look for certain options in UE, but I think it is the much better looking engine UI.

Currently, I like Godot the most, I just really like how it looks. I think it chooses function over fashion while still making it look polished and tidy. It's a nice aesthetic for me.

By the way, the Asset Drawer addon is lowkey broken and it overlaps the bottom bar making it unreadable. There's another plugin that does the EXACT same thing but fixes this problem, called NV File System. It's also in the Asset Library in Godot. It also has a hotkey to toggle it's position from the side to the bottom.

[@rawvoxel]

Actually, it doesn't have the ctrl + space hotkey, but I fixed that by copy/pasting the _input process from Asset Drawer addon as well as the "showing" bool and just swapped out the name of the file dock instance. Took like 15 seconds to fix.

[@rawvoxel]

func _input(event: InputEvent) -> void: if event is InputEventKey: if (Input.is_key_pressed(KEY_SPACE) && Input.is_key_pressed(KEY_CTRL)): if docked == true: match showing: false: make_bottom_panel_item_visible(file_system) showing = true true: print("hide") hide_bottom_panel() showing = false

I feel like pam from the office. "Same thing"

I actually like blue theme of Godot. It's refreshing after seeing so many gray interfaces.

[@April480p]

I love Godot's color scheme. Adding ANY color, even a grayish-blue is still miles better than the standard grayscale colors of other engines and tools. It just feels more like a fun program for making fun games, and not a serious, adult, sleek corporate tool.

brutal on godot 1 XD butt thanks Ididn't even know I could move things around your setup looks cleaner I'm going to try it THANKS!

As nice as that theme is, I've got to say that I am quite fond of the blue tint. The plugin for the drawer also seems quite useful, but I really prefer my filesystems vertical. It is much easier to handle and worth sacrificing screen space for me.

Yeah I agreed with the UE UI is the best looking UI

[@ujugamestudio]

Yes, they took care of color of their brand so that it looks great! Epic uses UE5 too, so they like to make it good for both us, and them. Now that I am satisfied

[@ShiloBuff]

Most definitely more beautiful and arguably more functional. Thanks! I hate that plugins are per-project only as "Asset Drawer" would be better as a global plugin. One thing i've always felt off putting is the script editor. In normal resolution monitors, there's some lack of space for the code, and the side bar for the script editor is off putting. For the most part, external IDE is the way to go anyhow given that they are more powerful, including refactor support. Comparing Godot script IDE to Jetbrains IDE is night and day.

Generally I think "How easy is it to find and use things?" trumps "what does it look like?". Functionality over form/looks. Within reason. However I did like the fact things can be beautified. Thanks for the vid.
