Godot UI — Control Nodes, Themes & Layout
All examples target Godot 4.3+ with no deprecated APIs; GDScript first, then C#.

1. Control Node Hierarchy
How Control Differs from Node2D
Control is the base class for all UI nodes — it lives in a separate scene-tree branch from Node2D/Node3D with a fundamentally different layout model.
| Feature | Node2D | Control |
|---|---|---|
| Position model | World-space position (pixels from parent) | Anchor + offset relative to parent rect |
| Size | No intrinsic size | Has size, minimum_size, custom_minimum_size |
| Theme | None | Inherits and overrides Theme resources |
| Focus | Not applicable | Built-in focus system (focus_mode, grab_focus()) |
| Mouse events | Manual via _input | gui_input, mouse_entered, mouse_exited |
| Layout helpers | None | Container subclasses auto-arrange children |
Control as Base Class
Every UI widget (Button, Label, LineEdit, etc.) extends Control. Key properties defined on Control itself:
anchor_left,anchor_top,anchor_right,anchor_bottom— fractional values (0.0–1.0) relative to the parent rectoffset_left,offset_top,offset_right,offset_bottom— pixel offsets applied after the anchor resolvessize_flags_horizontal,size_flags_vertical— how the node participates inContainerlayouttheme— aThemeresource; ifnull, walks up the tree to the nearest ancestor with onefocus_mode— whether the node can receive keyboard/gamepad focus
Place UI nodes inside a CanvasLayer (or directly under the scene root's built-in canvas) so they render on top of the 3D/2D world, unaffected by Camera transforms.
⚠️ Changed in Godot 4.7:
Control.accessibility_livechanged type fromDisplayServer.AccessibilityLiveModetoAccessibilityServer.AccessibilityLiveMode(LIVE_OFF = 0default,LIVE_POLITE,LIVE_ASSERTIVE) — accessibility enums/APIs moved to the newAccessibilityServersingleton. GDScript-compatible; breaks C# binary/source compatibility (rebuild against the new enum). See the 4.7 migration guide.
2. Common Container Nodes
| Container | Purpose | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
VBoxContainer | Stacks children vertically | Lists, option rows, vertical menus |
HBoxContainer | Stacks children horizontally | Toolbars, stat rows, horizontal nav |
GridContainer | Arranges children in a fixed-column grid | Inventory grids, key-binding tables |
MarginContainer | Adds padding around a single child | Wrapping any node to give it breathing room |
PanelContainer | Draws a StyleBox background, then lays out children | Card UI, dialog boxes, HUD panels |
ScrollContainer | Makes its single child scrollable; clips overflow | Long lists, logs, scrollable settings |
TabContainer | Stacks children as named tabs; shows one at a time | Settings screens, multi-section panels |
Sizing tips:
- Set
size_flags_horizontal = SIZE_EXPAND_FILLon children that should fill available space. - Use
custom_minimum_sizeto prevent a child from collapsing to zero. MarginContainerreads margin from the theme propertymargin_*; override at runtime withadd_theme_constant_override("margin_left", 16).
Godot 4.7+:
custom_maximum_size(Vector2(-1, -1)) caps size per axis, prioritized overcustom_minimum_size;propagate_maximum_size(defaultfalse) makes a parent's maximum constrain its Control children;_get_maximum_size()computes maximums from code.
⚠️ Changed in Godot 4.7:
TabContainer.all_tabs_in_frontis deprecated — it does nothing now, since tabs are always in front. Remove code that sets it. See GH-118623.
3. Anchors & Margins
How Anchor Presets Work
An anchor is a point on the parent rect expressed as a fraction (0 = top/left edge, 1 = bottom/right edge). Godot resolves the final pixel position of each edge as:
final_left = parent_width * anchor_left + offset_left
final_top = parent_height * anchor_top + offset_top
final_right = parent_width * anchor_right + offset_right
final_bottom = parent_height * anchor_bottom + offset_bottom
The editor exposes built-in presets:
| Preset | Anchor values | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| Full Rect | L=0, T=0, R=1, B=1 | Overlay / fill parent — most common for root UI |
| Center | L=0.5, T=0.5, R=0.5, B=0.5 | Fixed-size widget centred in parent |
| Top Left | L=0, T=0, R=0, B=0 | Fixed-size widget pinned to top-left corner |
| Top Right | L=1, T=0, R=1, B=0 | Fixed-size widget pinned to top-right corner |
| Bottom Center | L=0.5, T=1, R=0.5, B=1 | HUD element anchored to bottom centre |
Setting Anchors in Code
Anchors resolve as parent_size * anchor + offset per edge, so setting them by hand means setting eight properties. set_anchors_and_offsets_preset(Control.PRESET_*) does it in one call — use that, then adjust offset_* for margins (negative on right/bottom).
The anchor-vs-offset rule (keep offsets at 0 and let anchors do the work) plus full GDScript + C# examples — full-rect fill, top-right HUD with 16 px margins, and a custom half-screen side panel: references/anchors-in-code.md
4. Theme System
A Theme resource centralizes fonts, colors, and StyleBoxes. Apply at the root and let inheritance do the work; use theme_override_* only for one-off tweaks. StyleBoxFlat covers most flat-design needs (bg_color, border_color, corner_radius, border_width); StyleBoxTexture for textures.
See references/theme-system.md for the full Theme resource creation walk-through, StyleBoxFlat properties, font overrides, theme inheritance rules, and per-node
theme_override_*methods.
Godot 4.7+:
GradientTexture2D'sFillenum gainsFILL_CONIC— colors interpolated in a cone (angular) pattern; radial progress/cooldown indicators without a shader (C#:FillEnum.Conic).
5. Focus & Navigation
Focus modes (FOCUS_NONE, FOCUS_CLICK, FOCUS_ALL) gate keyboard/gamepad navigation. Wire chains with focus_neighbor_top / _bottom / _left / _right, or rely on automatic spatial detection. Call grab_focus() on the first interactive element when a menu opens.
See references/focus-and-navigation.md for focus mode details,
focus_neighborchain examples, gamepad/keyboard input handling, and grab_focus patterns.
6. Common UI Patterns
Three canonical scenes: a main menu (centered VBoxContainer with title + button list), a settings screen with tabs (TabContainer + child panels per category), and a pause menu overlay (full-rect ColorRect background + centered options panel, paused via get_tree().paused = true).
See references/ui-patterns.md for the full scene-tree fragments and GDScript wiring for each pattern.
Godot 4.7+:
offset_transform_*— visual-only UI-juice transform (shake/pulse) that never re-triggers container layout;_get_cursor_shape(at_position)— per-position cursor shapes;PopupMenusearch bar (search_bar_enabled, fuzzy by default) plusset_item_index()for reordering;TextureRectSTRETCH_TILEnow tilesAtlasTextures (only non-zeromarginunsupported). Code: references/ui-patterns.md.
⚠️ Changed in Godot 4.7:
RichTextLabel.add_image()/update_image()sizing was reworked —width/heightare nowfloat;width_in_percent/height_in_percentbools becomewidth_unit/height_unit, taking the newImageUnitenum (IMAGE_UNIT_PIXEL,IMAGE_UNIT_PERCENT,IMAGE_UNIT_EM— em scales with font size).ImageUpdateMask.UPDATE_WIDTH_IN_PERCENTis renamedUPDATE_WIDTH_UNIT, breaking GDScript using the old name. See the 4.7 migration guide.
7. Signals
Button.pressed for clicks, Control.gui_input for raw events on a node, Control.mouse_entered / mouse_exited for hover. Connect in _ready() or via the Inspector's Node panel.
See references/signals.md for the complete signal catalog and signal-driven UI update patterns.
8. FoldableContainer (Godot 4.5+)
FoldableContainer is a built-in accordion Container added in Godot 4.5 — a toggle header plus collapsible children, replacing the old boilerplate of wiring a Button to show/hide a VBoxContainer. Set title, set folded for the initial state, add children normally, and listen to folding_changed(is_folded).
Full GDScript + C# construction, the key-properties table, and the toggle signal: references/foldable-container.md
9. Stacked Label Effects (Godot 4.5+)
Godot 4.5 lets Label and RichTextLabel layer multiple text effects simultaneously — e.g., stacking two outline effects at different widths/colors, or combining a shadow with a glow. Previously, multiple outline layers required duplicating and manually layering Label nodes.
# Configure via Theme Overrides → Constants in the inspector, or add_theme_* overrides at runtime.
func apply_stacked_outlines(label: Label) -> void:
# Outer outline — wide, dark
label.add_theme_constant_override("outline_size", 6)
label.add_theme_color_override("font_outline_color", Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.9))
# Shadow (second layered effect)
label.add_theme_constant_override("shadow_offset_x", 2)
label.add_theme_constant_override("shadow_offset_y", 2)
label.add_theme_color_override("font_shadow_color", Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5))
public void ApplyStackedOutlines(Label label)
{
// Outer outline — wide, dark
label.AddThemeConstantOverride("outline_size", 6);
label.AddThemeColorOverride("font_outline_color", new Color(0f, 0f, 0f, 0.9f));
// Shadow (second layered effect)
label.AddThemeConstantOverride("shadow_offset_x", 2);
label.AddThemeConstantOverride("shadow_offset_y", 2);
label.AddThemeColorOverride("font_shadow_color", new Color(0f, 0f, 0f, 0.5f));
}
For RichTextLabel, stacked effects can also be applied via BBCode combined with theme overrides:
# Multiple outline-style effects via BBCode + theme
$RichTextLabel.text = "[outline size=4 color=#000000]Level Up![/outline]"
# Additional layers via theme overrides, as above.
Editor workflow: Configure stacked effects via Theme Editor → Label → Constants, or add multiple
FontFile-style outline passes in the Font resource. The runtime API (add_theme_*_override) above covers dynamic scenarios.

## 1. Control Node Hierarchy
### How Control Differs from Node2D
`Control` is the base class for all UI nodes — it lives in a separate scene-tree branch from `Node2D`/`Node3D` with a fundamentally different layout model.
| Feature | `Node2D` | `Control` |
|---|---|---|
| Position model | World-space `position` (pixels from parent) | Anchor + offset relative to parent rect |
| Size | No intrinsic size | Has `size`, `minimum_size`, `custom_minimum_size` |
| Theme | None | Inherits and overrides `Theme` resources |
| Focus | Not applicable | Built-in focus system (`focus_mode`, `grab_focus()`) |
| Mouse events | Manual via `_input` | `gui_input`, `mouse_entered`, `mouse_exited` |
| Layout helpers | None | `Container` subclasses auto-arrange children |
### Control as Base Class
Every UI widget (`Button`, `Label`, `LineEdit`, etc.) extends `Control`. Key properties defined on `Control` itself:
- `anchor_left`, `anchor_top`, `anchor_right`, `anchor_bottom` — fractional values (0.0–1.0) relative to the parent rect
- `offset_left`, `offset_top`, `offset_right`, `offset_bottom` — pixel offsets applied after the anchor resolves
- `size_flags_horizontal`, `size_flags_vertical` — how the node participates in `Container` layout
- `theme` — a `Theme` resource; if `null`, walks up the tree to the nearest ancestor with one
- `focus_mode` — whether the node can receive keyboard/gamepad focus
Place UI nodes inside a `CanvasLayer` (or directly under the scene root's built-in canvas) so they render on top of the 3D/2D world, unaffected by `Camera` transforms.
> ⚠️ **Changed in Godot 4.7:** `Control.accessibility_live` changed type from `DisplayServer.AccessibilityLiveMode` to `AccessibilityServer.AccessibilityLiveMode` (`LIVE_OFF = 0` default, `LIVE_POLITE`, `LIVE_ASSERTIVE`) — accessibility enums/APIs moved to the new `AccessibilityServer` singleton. GDScript-compatible; breaks C# binary/source compatibility (rebuild against the new enum). See the [4.7 migration guide](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/migrating/upgrading_to_godot_4.7.html).

## 2. Common Container Nodes
| Container | Purpose | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| `VBoxContainer` | Stacks children vertically | Lists, option rows, vertical menus |
| `HBoxContainer` | Stacks children horizontally | Toolbars, stat rows, horizontal nav |
| `GridContainer` | Arranges children in a fixed-column grid | Inventory grids, key-binding tables |
| `MarginContainer` | Adds padding around a single child | Wrapping any node to give it breathing room |
| `PanelContainer` | Draws a `StyleBox` background, then lays out children | Card UI, dialog boxes, HUD panels |
| `ScrollContainer` | Makes its single child scrollable; clips overflow | Long lists, logs, scrollable settings |
| `TabContainer` | Stacks children as named tabs; shows one at a time | Settings screens, multi-section panels |
**Sizing tips:**
- Set `size_flags_horizontal = SIZE_EXPAND_FILL` on children that should fill available space.
- Use `custom_minimum_size` to prevent a child from collapsing to zero.
- `MarginContainer` reads margin from the theme property `margin_*`; override at runtime with `add_theme_constant_override("margin_left", 16)`.
> **Godot 4.7+:** `custom_maximum_size` (`Vector2(-1, -1)`) caps size per axis, prioritized over `custom_minimum_size`; `propagate_maximum_size` (default `false`) makes a parent's maximum constrain its Control children; `_get_maximum_size()` computes maximums from code.
> ⚠️ **Changed in Godot 4.7:** `TabContainer.all_tabs_in_front` is deprecated — it does nothing now, since tabs are always in front. Remove code that sets it. See [GH-118623](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/118623).

## 3. Anchors & Margins
### How Anchor Presets Work
An anchor is a point on the **parent** rect expressed as a fraction (0 = top/left edge, 1 = bottom/right edge). Godot resolves the final pixel position of each edge as:
```
final_left = parent_width * anchor_left + offset_left
final_top = parent_height * anchor_top + offset_top
final_right = parent_width * anchor_right + offset_right
final_bottom = parent_height * anchor_bottom + offset_bottom
```
The editor exposes built-in presets:
| Preset | Anchor values | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| Full Rect | L=0, T=0, R=1, B=1 | Overlay / fill parent — most common for root UI |
| Center | L=0.5, T=0.5, R=0.5, B=0.5 | Fixed-size widget centred in parent |
| Top Left | L=0, T=0, R=0, B=0 | Fixed-size widget pinned to top-left corner |
| Top Right | L=1, T=0, R=1, B=0 | Fixed-size widget pinned to top-right corner |
| Bottom Center | L=0.5, T=1, R=0.5, B=1 | HUD element anchored to bottom centre |
### Setting Anchors in Code
Anchors resolve as `parent_size * anchor + offset` per edge, so setting them by hand means setting eight properties. `set_anchors_and_offsets_preset(Control.PRESET_*)` does it in one call — use that, then adjust `offset_*` for margins (negative on right/bottom).
The anchor-vs-offset rule (keep offsets at 0 and let anchors do the work) plus full GDScript + C# examples — full-rect fill, top-right HUD with 16 px margins, and a custom half-screen side panel: [references/anchors-in-code.md](references/anchors-in-code.md)

## 4. Theme System
A `Theme` resource centralizes fonts, colors, and `StyleBox`es. Apply at the root and let inheritance do the work; use `theme_override_*` only for one-off tweaks. `StyleBoxFlat` covers most flat-design needs (`bg_color`, `border_color`, `corner_radius`, `border_width`); `StyleBoxTexture` for textures.
> See [references/theme-system.md](references/theme-system.md) for the full Theme resource creation walk-through, StyleBoxFlat properties, font overrides, theme inheritance rules, and per-node `theme_override_*` methods.
> **Godot 4.7+:** `GradientTexture2D`'s `Fill` enum gains `FILL_CONIC` — colors interpolated in a cone (angular) pattern; radial progress/cooldown indicators without a shader (C#: `FillEnum.Conic`).
---
## 5. Focus & Navigation
Focus modes (`FOCUS_NONE`, `FOCUS_CLICK`, `FOCUS_ALL`) gate keyboard/gamepad navigation. Wire chains with `focus_neighbor_top` / `_bottom` / `_left` / `_right`, or rely on automatic spatial detection. Call `grab_focus()` on the first interactive element when a menu opens.
> See [references/focus-and-navigation.md](references/focus-and-navigation.md) for focus mode details, `focus_neighbor` chain examples, gamepad/keyboard input handling, and grab_focus patterns.
---
## 6. Common UI Patterns
Three canonical scenes: a **main menu** (centered VBoxContainer with title + button list), a **settings screen with tabs** (`TabContainer` + child panels per category), and a **pause menu overlay** (full-rect `ColorRect` background + centered options panel, paused via `get_tree().paused = true`).
> See [references/ui-patterns.md](references/ui-patterns.md) for the full scene-tree fragments and GDScript wiring for each pattern.
> **Godot 4.7+:** `offset_transform_*` — visual-only UI-juice transform (shake/pulse) that never re-triggers container layout; `_get_cursor_shape(at_position)` — per-position cursor shapes; `PopupMenu` search bar (`search_bar_enabled`, fuzzy by default) plus `set_item_index()` for reordering; `TextureRect` `STRETCH_TILE` now tiles `AtlasTexture`s (only non-zero `margin` unsupported). Code: [references/ui-patterns.md](references/ui-patterns.md#godot-47-additions).
> ⚠️ **Changed in Godot 4.7:** `RichTextLabel.add_image()` / `update_image()` sizing was reworked — `width`/`height` are now `float`; `width_in_percent`/`height_in_percent` bools become `width_unit`/`height_unit`, taking the new `ImageUnit` enum (`IMAGE_UNIT_PIXEL`, `IMAGE_UNIT_PERCENT`, `IMAGE_UNIT_EM` — em scales with font size). `ImageUpdateMask.UPDATE_WIDTH_IN_PERCENT` is renamed `UPDATE_WIDTH_UNIT`, breaking GDScript using the old name. See the [4.7 migration guide](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/migrating/upgrading_to_godot_4.7.html).
---
## 7. Signals
`Button.pressed` for clicks, `Control.gui_input` for raw events on a node, `Control.mouse_entered` / `mouse_exited` for hover. Connect in `_ready()` or via the Inspector's Node panel.
> See [references/signals.md](references/signals.md) for the complete signal catalog and signal-driven UI update patterns.
---
## 8. FoldableContainer (Godot 4.5+)
`FoldableContainer` is a built-in accordion `Container` added in Godot 4.5 — a toggle header plus collapsible children, replacing the old boilerplate of wiring a `Button` to show/hide a `VBoxContainer`. Set `title`, set `folded` for the initial state, add children normally, and listen to `folding_changed(is_folded)`.
Full GDScript + C# construction, the key-properties table, and the toggle signal: [references/foldable-container.md](references/foldable-container.md)
---
## 9. Stacked Label Effects (Godot 4.5+)
Godot 4.5 lets `Label` and `RichTextLabel` layer multiple text effects simultaneously — e.g., stacking two outline effects at different widths/colors, or combining a shadow with a glow. Previously, multiple outline layers required duplicating and manually layering Label nodes.
```gdscript
# Configure via Theme Overrides → Constants in the inspector, or add_theme_* overrides at runtime.
func apply_stacked_outlines(label: Label) -> void:
# Outer outline — wide, dark
label.add_theme_constant_override("outline_size", 6)
label.add_theme_color_override("font_outline_color", Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.9))
# Shadow (second layered effect)
label.add_theme_constant_override("shadow_offset_x", 2)
label.add_theme_constant_override("shadow_offset_y", 2)
label.add_theme_color_override("font_shadow_color", Color(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5))
```
```csharp
public void ApplyStackedOutlines(Label label)
{
// Outer outline — wide, dark
label.AddThemeConstantOverride("outline_size", 6);
label.AddThemeColorOverride("font_outline_color", new Color(0f, 0f, 0f, 0.9f));
// Shadow (second layered effect)
label.AddThemeConstantOverride("shadow_offset_x", 2);
label.AddThemeConstantOverride("shadow_offset_y", 2);
label.AddThemeColorOverride("font_shadow_color", new Color(0f, 0f, 0f, 0.5f));
}
```
For `RichTextLabel`, stacked effects can also be applied via BBCode combined with theme overrides:
```gdscript
# Multiple outline-style effects via BBCode + theme
$RichTextLabel.text = "[outline size=4 color=#000000]Level Up![/outline]"
# Additional layers via theme overrides, as above.
```
> **Editor workflow:** Configure stacked effects via **Theme Editor → Label → Constants**, or add multiple `FontFile`-style outline passes in the Font resource. The runtime API (`add_theme_*_override`) above covers dynamic scenarios.
