# Objective
Continue improving the user experience of our UI Node API in the
direction specified by [Bevy's Next Generation Scene / UI
System](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437)
## Solution
As specified in the document above, merge `Style` fields into `Node`,
and move "computed Node fields" into `ComputedNode` (I chose this name
over something like `ComputedNodeLayout` because it currently contains
more than just layout info. If we want to break this up / rename these
concepts, lets do that in a separate PR). `Style` has been removed.
This accomplishes a number of goals:
## Ergonomics wins
Specifying both `Node` and `Style` is now no longer required for
non-default styles
Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Node::default(),
Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
},
));
```
After:
```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
});
```
## Conceptual clarity
`Style` was never a comprehensive "style sheet". It only defined "core"
style properties that all `Nodes` shared. Any "styled property" that
couldn't fit that mold had to be in a separate component. A "real" style
system would style properties _across_ components (`Node`, `Button`,
etc). We have plans to build a true style system (see the doc linked
above).
By moving the `Style` fields to `Node`, we fully embrace `Node` as the
driving concept and remove the "style system" confusion.
## Next Steps
* Consider identifying and splitting out "style properties that aren't
core to Node". This should not happen for Bevy 0.15.
---
## Migration Guide
Move any fields set on `Style` into `Node` and replace all `Style`
component usage with `Node`.
Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Node::default(),
Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
},
));
```
After:
```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
});
```
For any usage of the "computed node properties" that used to live on
`Node`, use `ComputedNode` instead:
Before:
```rust
fn system(nodes: Query<&Node>) {
for node in &nodes {
let computed_size = node.size();
}
}
```
After:
```rust
fn system(computed_nodes: Query<&ComputedNode>) {
for computed_node in &computed_nodes {
let computed_size = computed_node.size();
}
}
```
# Objective
As discussed in #15341, ghost nodes are a contentious and experimental
feature. In the interest of enabling ecosystem experimentation, we've
decided to keep them in Bevy 0.15.
That said, we don't use them internally, and don't expect third-party
crates to support them. If the experimentation returns a negative result
(they aren't very useful, an alternative design is preferred etc) they
will be removed.
We should clearly communicate this status to users, and make sure that
users don't use ghost nodes in their projects without a very clear
understanding of what they're getting themselves into.
## Solution
To make life easy for users (and Bevy), `GhostNode` and all associated
helpers remain public and are always available.
However, actually constructing these requires enabling a feature flag
that's clearly marked as experimental. To do so, I've added a
meaningless private field.
When the feature flag is enabled, our constructs (`new` and `default`)
can be used. I've added a `new` constructor, which should be preferred
over `Default::default` as that can be readily deprecated, allowing us
to prompt users to swap over to the much nicer `GhostNode` syntax once
this is a unit struct again.
Full credit: this was mostly @cart's design: I'm just implementing it!
## Testing
I've run the ghost_nodes example and it fails to compile without the
feature flag. With the feature flag, it works fine :)

Fixes#15834
## Migration Guide
The APIs of `Time`, `Timer` and `Stopwatch` have been cleaned up for
consistency with each other and the standard library's `Duration` type.
The following methods have been renamed:
- `Stowatch::paused` -> `Stopwatch::is_paused`
- `Time::elapsed_seconds` -> `Time::elasped_secs` (including `_f64` and
`_wrapped` variants)
# Objective
Limited implementation of the CSS property `overflow-clip-margin`
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/overflow-clip-margin
Allows you to control the visible area for clipped content when using
overfllow-clip, -hidden, or -scroll and expand it with a margin.
Based on #15442Fixes#15468
## Solution
Adds a new field to Style: `overflow_clip_margin: OverflowClipMargin`.
The field is ignored unless overflow-clip, -hidden or -scroll is set on
at least one axis.
`OverflowClipMargin` has these associated constructor functions:
```
pub const fn content_box() -> Self;
pub const fn padding_box() -> Self;
pub const fn border_box() -> Self;
```
You can also use the method `with_margin` to increases the size of the
visible area:
```
commands
.spawn(NodeBundle {
style: Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
height: Val::Px(100.),
padding: UiRect::all(Val::Px(20.)),
border: UiRect::all(Val::Px(5.)),
overflow: Overflow::clip(),
overflow_clip_margin: OverflowClipMargin::border_box().with_margin(25.),
..Default::default()
},
border_color: Color::BLACK.into(),
background_color: GRAY.into(),
..Default::default()
})
```
`with_margin` expects a length in logical pixels, negative values are
clamped to zero.
## Notes
* To keep this PR as simple as possible I omitted responsive margin
values support. This could be added in a follow up if we want it.
* CSS also supports a `margin-box` option but we don't have access to
the margin values in `Node` so it's probably not feasible to implement
atm.
## Testing
```cargo run --example overflow_clip_margin```
<img width="396" alt="overflow-clip-margin" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/07b51cd6-a565-4451-87a0-fa079429b04b">
## Migration Guide
Style has a new field `OverflowClipMargin`. It allows users to set the visible area for clipped content when using overflow-clip, -hidden, or -scroll and expand it with a margin.
There are three associated constructor functions `content_box`, `padding_box` and `border_box`:
* `content_box`: elements painted outside of the content box area (the innermost part of the node excluding the padding and border) of the node are clipped. This is the new default behaviour.
* `padding_box`: elements painted outside outside of the padding area of the node are clipped.
* `border_box`: elements painted outside of the bounds of the node are clipped. This matches the behaviour from Bevy 0.14.
There is also a `with_margin` method that increases the size of the visible area by the given number in logical pixels, negative margin values are clamped to zero.
`OverflowClipMargin` is ignored unless overflow-clip, -hidden or -scroll is also set on at least one axis of the UI node.

# Objective
Cleanup naming and docs, add missing migration guide after #15591
All text root nodes now use `Text` (UI) / `Text2d`.
All text readers/writers use `Text<Type>Reader`/`Text<Type>Writer`
convention.
---
## Migration Guide
Doubles as #15591 migration guide.
Text bundles (`TextBundle` and `Text2dBundle`) were removed in favor of
`Text` and `Text2d`.
Shared configuration fields were replaced with `TextLayout`, `TextFont`
and `TextColor` components.
Just `TextBundle`'s additional field turned into `TextNodeFlags`
component,
while `Text2dBundle`'s additional fields turned into `TextBounds` and
`Anchor` components.
Text sections were removed in favor of hierarchy-based approach.
For root text entities with `Text` or `Text2d` components, child
entities with `TextSpan` will act as additional text sections.
To still access text spans by index, use the new `TextUiReader`,
`Text2dReader` and `TextUiWriter`, `Text2dWriter` system parameters.
# Objective
Change UI clipping to respect borders and padding.
Fixes#15335
## Solution
Based on #15163
1. Add a `padding` field to `Node`.
2. In `ui_layout_size` copy the padding values from taffy to
`Node::padding`.
4. Determine the node's content box (The innermost part of the node
excluding the padding and border).
5. In `update_clipping` perform the clipping intersection with the
node's content box.
## Notes
* `Rect` probably needs some helper methods for working with insets but
because `Rect` and `BorderRect` are in different crates it's awkward to
add them. Left for a follow up.
* We could have another `Overflow` variant (probably called
`Overflow::Hidden`) to that clips inside of the border box instead of
the content box. Left it out here as I'm not certain about the naming or
behaviour though. If this PR is adopted, it would be trivial to add a
`Hidden` variant in a follow up.
* Depending on UI scaling there are sometimes gaps in the layout:
<img width="532" alt="rounding-bug"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cc29aa0d-44fe-403f-8f0e-cd28a8b1d1b3">
This is caused by existing bugs in `ui_layout_system`'s coordinates
rounding and not anything to do with the changes in this PR.
## Testing
This PR also changes the `overflow` example to display borders on the
overflow nodes so you can see how this works:
#### main (The image is clipped at the edges of the node, overwriting
the border).

# Objective
- closes#15866
## Solution
- Simply migrate where possible.
## Testing
- Expect that CI will do most of the work. Examples is another way of
testing this, as most of the work is in that area.
---
## Notes
For now, this PR doesn't migrate `QueryState::single` and friends as for
now, this look like another issue. So for example, QueryBuilders that
used single or `World::query` that used single wasn't migrated. If there
is a easy way to migrate those, please let me know.
Most of the uses of `Query::single` were removed, the only other uses
that I found was related to tests of said methods, so will probably be
removed when we remove `Query::single`.
# Objective
Currently text is recomputed unnecessarily on any changes to its color,
which is extremely expensive.
## Solution
Split up `TextStyle` into two separate components `TextFont` and
`TextColor`.
## Testing
I added this system to `many_buttons`:
```rust
fn set_text_colors_changed(mut colors: Query<&mut TextColor>) {
for mut text_color in colors.iter_mut() {
text_color.set_changed();
}
}
```
reports ~4fps on main, ~50fps with this PR.
## Migration Guide
`TextStyle` has been renamed to `TextFont` and its `color` field has
been moved to a separate component named `TextColor` which newtypes
`Color`.
**Ready for review. Examples migration progress: 100%.**
# Objective
- Implement https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/15014
## Solution
This implements [cart's
proposal](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/15014#discussioncomment-10574459)
faithfully except for one change. I separated `TextSpan` from
`TextSpan2d` because `TextSpan` needs to require the `GhostNode`
component, which is a `bevy_ui` component only usable by UI.
Extra changes:
- Added `EntityCommands::commands_mut` that returns a mutable reference.
This is a blocker for extension methods that return something other than
`self`. Note that `sickle_ui`'s `UiBuilder::commands` returns a mutable
reference for this reason.
## Testing
- [x] Text examples all work.

## Showcase
TODO: showcase-worthy
## Migration Guide
TODO: very breaking
### Accessing text spans by index
Text sections are now text sections on different entities in a
hierarchy, Use the new `TextReader` and `TextWriter` system parameters
to access spans by index.
Before:
```rust
fn refresh_text(mut query: Query<&mut Text, With<TimeText>>, time: Res<Time>) {
let text = query.single_mut();
text.sections[1].value = format_time(time.elapsed());
}
```
After:
```rust
fn refresh_text(
query: Query<Entity, With<TimeText>>,
mut writer: UiTextWriter,
time: Res<Time>
) {
let entity = query.single();
*writer.text(entity, 1) = format_time(time.elapsed());
}
```
### Iterating text spans
Text spans are now entities in a hierarchy, so the new `UiTextReader`
and `UiTextWriter` system parameters provide ways to iterate that
hierarchy. The `UiTextReader::iter` method will give you a normal
iterator over spans, and `UiTextWriter::for_each` lets you visit each of
the spans.

# Objective
- Closes#15720
## Solution
Wrap the handle in a new wrapper component: `UiMaterialHandle`
It's not possible to match the naming convention of `MeshMaterial3d/2d`
here with the trait already being called `UiMaterial`
Should we consider renaming to `Material3d/2dHandle` and `Mesh3d/2d` to
`Mesh3d/2dHandle`?
- This shouldn't have any merge conflicts with #15591
## Testing
Tested the `ui_material` example
## Migration Guide
Let's defer the migration guide to the required component port. I just
want to yeet the `Component` impl on `Handle` in the meantime :)
# Objective
UI box shadow support
Adds a new component `BoxShadow`:
```rust
pub struct BoxShadow {
/// The shadow's color
pub color: Color,
/// Horizontal offset
pub x_offset: Val,
/// Vertical offset
pub y_offset: Val,
/// Horizontal difference in size from the occluding uninode
pub spread_radius: Val,
/// Blurriness of the shadow
pub blur_radius: Val,
}
```
To use `BoxShadow`, add the component to any Bevy UI node and a shadow
will be drawn beneath that node.
Also adds a resource `BoxShadowSamples` that can be used to adjust the
shadow quality.
#### Notes
* I'm not super happy with the field names. Maybe we need a `struct Size
{ width: Val, height: Val }` type or something.
* The shader isn't very optimised but I don't see that it's too
important for now as the number of shadows being rendered is not going
to be massive most of the time. I think it's more important to get the
API and geometry correct with this PR.
* I didn't implement an inset property, it's not essential and can
easily be added in a follow up.
* Shadows are only rendered for uinodes, not for images or text.
* Batching isn't supported, it would need out-of-the-scope-of-this-pr
changes to the way the UI handles z-ordering for it to be effective.

- Rename `Pickable` to `PickingBehavior` to counter the easily-made

text node, making it much more obvious that there is a bug causing the
size of the bounds to be calculated incorrectly.
# Objective
Yet another PR for migrating stuff to required components. This time,
cameras!
## Solution
As per the [selected
proposal](https://hackmd.io/tsYID4CGRiWxzsgawzxG_g#Combined-Proposal-1-Selected),
deprecate `Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` in favor of `Camera2d`
and `Camera3d`.
Adding a `Camera` without `Camera2d` or `Camera3d` now logs a warning,
as suggested by Cart [on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1264881140007702558/1291506402832945273).
I would personally like cameras to work a bit differently and be split
into a few more components, to avoid some footguns and confusing
semantics, but that is more controversial, and shouldn't block this core
migration.
## Testing
I ran a few 2D and 3D examples, and tried cameras with and without
render graphs.
---
## Migration Guide
`Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` have been deprecated in favor of
`Camera2d` and `Camera3d`. Inserting them will now also insert the other
components required by them automatically.
# Objective
- Fixes#14826
- For context, see #15238
## Solution
Add a `GhostNode` component to `bevy_ui` and update all the relevant
systems to use it to traverse for UI children.
- [x] `ghost_hierarchy` module
- [x] Add `GhostNode`
- [x] Add `UiRootNodes` system param for iterating (ghost-aware) UI root
nodes
- [x] Add `UiChildren` system param for iterating (ghost-aware) UI
children
- [x] Update `layout::ui_layout_system`
- [x] Use ghost-aware root nodes for camera updates
- [x] Update and remove children in taffy
- [x] Initial spawn
- [x] Detect changes on nested UI children
- [x] Use ghost-aware children traversal in
`update_uinode_geometry_recursive`
- [x] Update the rest of the UI systems to use the ghost hierarchy
- [x] `stack::ui_stack_system`
- [x] `update::`
- [x] `update_clipping_system`
- [x] `update_target_camera_system`
- [x] `accessibility::calc_name`
## Testing
- [x] Added a new example `ghost_nodes` that can be used as a testbed.
- [x] Added unit tests for _some_ of the traversal utilities in
`ghost_hierarchy`
- [x] Ensure this fulfills the needs for currently known use cases
- [x] Reactivity libraries (test with `bevy_reactor`)
- [ ] Text spans (mentioned by koe [on
discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1285371432460881991/1285377442998915246))
---
## Performance
[See comment
below](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/15341#issuecomment-2385456820)
## Migration guide
Any code that previously relied on `Parent`/`Children` to iterate UI
children may now want to use `bevy_ui::UiChildren` to ensure ghost nodes
are skipped, and their first descendant Nodes included.
UI root nodes may now be children of ghost nodes, which means
`Without<Parent>` might not query all root nodes. Use
`bevy_ui::UiRootNodes` where needed to iterate root nodes instead.
## Potential future work
- Benchmarking/optimizations of hierarchies containing lots of ghost
nodes
- Further exploration of UI hierarchies and markers for root nodes/leaf
nodes to create better ergonomics for things like `UiLayer` (world-space
ui)

# Objective
- Improve code quality in preparation for
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/15014
## Solution
- Rename BreakLineOn to LineBreak.
## Migration Guide
`BreakLineOn` was renamed to `LineBreak`, and paramters named
`linebreak_behavior` were renamed to `linebreak`.
# Objective
A big step in the migration to required components: meshes and
materials!
## Solution
As per the [selected
proposal](https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/%2Fj9-PnF-2QKK0on1KQ29UWQ):
- Deprecate `MaterialMesh2dBundle`, `MaterialMeshBundle`, and
`PbrBundle`.
- Add `Mesh2d` and `Mesh3d` components, which wrap a `Handle<Mesh>`.
- Add `MeshMaterial2d<M: Material2d>` and `MeshMaterial3d<M: Material>`,
which wrap a `Handle<M>`.
- Meshes *without* a mesh material should be rendered with a default
material. The existence of a material is determined by
`HasMaterial2d`/`HasMaterial3d`, which is required by
`MeshMaterial2d`/`MeshMaterial3d`. This gets around problems with the
generics.
Previously:
```rust
commands.spawn(MaterialMesh2dBundle {
mesh: meshes.add(Circle::new(100.0)).into(),
material: materials.add(Color::srgb(7.5, 0.0, 7.5)),
transform: Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(-200., 0., 0.)),
..default()
});
```
Now:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Mesh2d(meshes.add(Circle::new(100.0))),
MeshMaterial2d(materials.add(Color::srgb(7.5, 0.0, 7.5))),
Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(-200., 0., 0.)),
));
```
If the mesh material is missing, previously nothing was rendered. Now,
it renders a white default `ColorMaterial` in 2D and a
`StandardMaterial` in 3D (this can be overridden). Below, only every
other entity has a material:
Why white? This is still open for discussion, but I think white makes
sense for a *default* material, while *invalid* asset handles pointing
to nothing should have something like a pink material to indicate that
something is broken (I don't handle that in this PR yet). This is kind
of a mix of Godot and Unity: Godot just renders a white material for
non-existent materials, while Unity renders nothing when no materials
exist, but renders pink for invalid materials. I can also change the
default material to pink if that is preferable though.
## Testing
I ran some 2D and 3D examples to test if anything changed visually. I
have not tested all examples or features yet however. If anyone wants to
test more extensively, it would be appreciated!
## Implementation Notes
- The relationship between `bevy_render` and `bevy_pbr` is weird here.
`bevy_render` needs `Mesh3d` for its own systems, but `bevy_pbr` has all
of the material logic, and `bevy_render` doesn't depend on it. I feel
like the two crates should be refactored in some way, but I think that's
out of scope for this PR.
- I didn't migrate meshlets to required components yet. That can
probably be done in a follow-up, as this is already a huge PR.
- It is becoming increasingly clear to me that we really, *really* want
to disallow raw asset handles as components. They caused me a *ton* of
headache here already, and it took me a long time to find every place
that queried for them or inserted them directly on entities, since there
were no compiler errors for it. If we don't remove the `Component`
derive, I expect raw asset handles to be a *huge* footgun for users as
we transition to wrapper components, especially as handles as components
have been the norm so far. I personally consider this to be a blocker
for 0.15: we need to migrate to wrapper components for asset handles
everywhere, and remove the `Component` derive. Also see
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14124.
---
## Migration Guide
Asset handles for meshes and mesh materials must now be wrapped in the
`Mesh2d` and `MeshMaterial2d` or `Mesh3d` and `MeshMaterial3d`
components for 2D and 3D respectively. Raw handles as components no
longer render meshes.
Additionally, `MaterialMesh2dBundle`, `MaterialMeshBundle`, and
`PbrBundle` have been deprecated. Instead, use the mesh and material
components directly.
Previously:
```rust
commands.spawn(MaterialMesh2dBundle {
mesh: meshes.add(Circle::new(100.0)).into(),
material: materials.add(Color::srgb(7.5, 0.0, 7.5)),
transform: Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(-200., 0., 0.)),
..default()
});
```
Now:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Mesh2d(meshes.add(Circle::new(100.0))),
MeshMaterial2d(materials.add(Color::srgb(7.5, 0.0, 7.5))),
Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(-200., 0., 0.)),
));
```
If the mesh material is missing, a white default material is now used.
Previously, nothing was rendered if the material was missing.
The `WithMesh2d` and `WithMesh3d` query filter type aliases have also
been removed. Simply use `With<Mesh2d>` or `With<Mesh3d>`.

# Objective
Another step in the migration to required components: lights!
Note that this does not include `EnvironmentMapLight` or reflection
probes yet, because their API hasn't been fully chosen yet.
## Solution
As per the [selected
proposals](https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/%2FLLnzwz9XTxiD7i2jiUXkJg):
- Deprecate `PointLightBundle` in favor of the `PointLight` component
- Deprecate `SpotLightBundle` in favor of the `PointLight` component
- Deprecate `DirectionalLightBundle` in favor of the `DirectionalLight`
component
## Testing
I ran some examples with lights.
---
## Migration Guide
`PointLightBundle`, `SpotLightBundle`, and `DirectionalLightBundle` have
been deprecated. Use the `PointLight`, `SpotLight`, and
`DirectionalLight` components instead. Adding them will now insert the
other components required by them automatically.
# Objective
`ui_stack_system` generates a tree of `StackingContexts` which it then
flattens to get the `UiStack`.
But there's no need to construct a new tree. We can query for nodes with
a global `ZIndex`, add those nodes to the root nodes list and then build
the `UiStack` from a walk of the existing layout tree, ignoring any
branches that have a global `Zindex`.
Fixes#9877
## Solution
Split the `ZIndex` enum into two separate components, `ZIndex` and
`GlobalZIndex`
Query for nodes with a `GlobalZIndex`, add those nodes to the root nodes
list and then build the `UiStack` from a walk of the existing layout
tree, filtering branches by `Without<GlobalZIndex>` so we don't revisit
nodes.

## Changelog
`Zindex`
* The `ZIndex` enum has been split into two separate components `ZIndex`

`ZIndex::Global`). An entity can have both a `ZIndex` and
`GlobalZIndex`, in comparisons `ZIndex` breaks ties if two
`GlobalZIndex` values are equal.
`ui_stack_system`
* Instead of generating a tree of `StackingContexts`, query for nodes
with a `GlobalZIndex`, add those nodes to the root nodes list and then
build the `UiStack` from a walk of the existing layout tree, filtering
branches by `Without<GlobalZIndex` so we don't revisit nodes.
## Migration Guide
The `ZIndex` enum has been split into two separate components `ZIndex`
(which replaces `ZIndex::Local`) and `GlobalZIndex` (which replaces
`ZIndex::Global`). An entity can have both a `ZIndex` and
`GlobalZIndex`, in comparisons `ZIndex` breaks ties if two
`GlobalZindex` values are equal.

# Objective
- Fixes#6370
- Closes#6581
## Solution
- Added the following lints to the workspace:
- `std_instead_of_core`
- `std_instead_of_alloc`
- `alloc_instead_of_core`
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [item level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Item%5C%3A)
to split all `use` statements into single items.
- Used `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --fix
--allow-dirty` to _attempt_ to resolve the new linting issues, and
intervened where the lint was unable to resolve the issue automatically
(usually due to needing an `extern crate alloc;` statement in a crate
root).
- Manually removed certain uses of `std` where negative feature gating
prevented `--all-features` from finding the offending uses.
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [crate level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Crate%5C%3A)
to re-merge all `use` statements matching Bevy's previous styling.
- Manually fixed cases where the `fmt` tool could not re-merge `use`
statements due to conditional compilation attributes.
## Testing
- Ran CI locally
## Migration Guide
The MSRV is now 1.81. Please update to this version or higher.
## Notes
- This is a _massive_ change to try and push through, which is why I've
outlined the semi-automatic steps I used to create this PR, in case this
fails and someone else tries again in the future.
- Making this change has no impact on user code, but does mean Bevy
contributors will be warned to use `core` and `alloc` instead of `std`
where possible.
- This lint is a critical first step towards investigating `no_std`
options for Bevy.

# Objective
Fixes#15142
## Solution
* Moved all the UI border geometry calculations that were scattered
through the UI extraction functions into `ui_layout_system`.
* Added a `border: BorderRect` field to `Node` to store the border size
computed by `ui_layout_system`.
* Use the border values returned from Taffy rather than calculate them
ourselves during extraction.
* Removed the `logical_rect` and `physical_rect` methods from `Node` the
descriptions and namings are deceptive, it's better to create the rects
manually instead.
* Added a method `outline_radius` to `Node` that calculates the border
radius of outlines.
* For border values `ExtractedUiNode` takes `BorderRect` and
`ResolvedBorderRadius` now instead of raw `[f32; 4]` values and converts
them in `prepare_uinodes`.
* Removed some unnecessary scaling and clamping of border values
(#15142).
* Added a `BorderRect::ZERO` constant.
* Added an `outlined_node_size` method to `Node`.
## Testing
Added some non-uniform borders to the border example. Everything seems
to be in order:

## Migration Guide
The `logical_rect` and `physical_rect` methods have been removed from
`Node`. Use `Rect::from_center_size` with the translation and node size
instead.
The types of the fields border and border_radius of `ExtractedUiNode`
have been changed to `BorderRect` and `ResolvedBorderRadius`
respectively.

# Objective
Fixes#15401
## Solution
Changes the scroll inversion hotkey in the example from Shift to
Control.
Shift is idiomatic for this. Since we cannot use Shift per #15401, I
picked another modifier arbitrarily. A production app would handle this
in a platform specific way until the platform behaviors are unified
upstream, but no point here.
## Testing
I don't have a mac readily available for testing, if someone wouldn't
mind testing. I would also appreciate confirmation that trackpad is
working nicely.
# Objective
- Fixes#10720
- Adds the ability to control font smoothing of rendered text
## Solution
- Introduce the `FontSmoothing` enum, with two possible variants
(`FontSmoothing::None` and `FontSmoothing::AntiAliased`):
- This is based on `-webkit-font-smoothing`, in line with our practice
of adopting CSS-like properties/names for UI;
- I could have gone instead for the [`font-smooth`
property](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-smooth)
that's also supported by browsers, but didn't since it's also
non-standard, has an uglier name, and doesn't allow controlling the type
of antialias applied.
- Having an enum instead of e.g. a boolean, leaves the path open for
adding `FontSmoothing::SubpixelAntiAliased` in the future, without a
breaking change;
- Add all the necessary plumbing to get the `FontSmoothing` information
to where we rasterize the glyphs and store them in the atlas;
- Change the font atlas key to also take into account the smoothing
setting, not only font and font size;
- Since COSMIC Text [doesn't support controlling font
smoothing](https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-text/issues/279), we roll
out our own threshold-based “implementation”:
- This has the downside of **looking ugly for “regular” vector fonts**
⚠️, since it doesn't properly take the hinting information into account
like a proper implementation on the rasterizer side would.
- However, **for fonts that have been specifically authored to be pixel
fonts, (a common use case in games!) this is not as big of a problem**,
since all lines are vertical/horizontal, and close to the final pixel
boundaries (as long as the font is used at a multiple of the size
originally intended by the author)
- Once COSMIC exposes this functionality, we can switch to using it
directly, and get better results;
- Use a nearest neighbor sampler for atlases with font smoothing
disabled, so that you can scale the text via transform and still get the
pixelated look;
- Add a convenience method to `Text` for setting the font smoothing;
- Add a demonstration of using the `FontSmoothing` property to the
`text2d` example.
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
- Yes. Via the `text2d`example, and also in my game.
- Are there any parts that need more testing?
- I'd like help from someone for testing this on devices/OSs with
fractional scaling (Android/Windows)
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?
- Both via the `text2d` example and also by using it directly on your
projects.
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?
- macOS

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b881b02c-4e43-410b-902f-6985c25140fc">
## Migration Guide
- `Text` now contains a `font_smoothing: FontSmoothing` property, make
sure to include it or add `..default()` when using the struct directly;
- `FontSizeKey` has been renamed to `FontAtlasKey`, and now also
contains the `FontSmoothing` setting;
- The following methods now take an extra `font_smoothing:
FontSmoothing` argument:
- `FontAtlas::new()`
- `FontAtlasSet::add_glyph_to_atlas()`
- `FontAtlasSet::get_glyph_atlas_info()`
- `FontAtlasSet::get_outlined_glyph_texture()`
# Objective
- Fixes#8074
- Adopts / Supersedes #8104
## Solution
Adapted from #8104 and affords the same benefits.
**Additions**
- [x] Update scrolling on relayout (height of node or contents may have
changed)
- [x] Make ScrollPosition component optional for ui nodes to avoid
checking every node on scroll
- [x] Nested scrollviews
**Omissions**
- Removed input handling for scrolling from `bevy_ui`. Users should
update `ScrollPosition` directly.
### Implementation
Adds a new `ScrollPosition` component. Updating this component on a
`Node` with an overflow axis set to `OverflowAxis::Scroll` will
reposition its children by that amount when calculating node transforms.
As before, no impact on the underlying Taffy layout.
Calculating this correctly is trickier than it was in #8104 due to
`"Update scrolling on relayout"`.
**Background**
When `ScrollPosition` is updated directly by the user, it can be
trivially handled in-engine by adding the parent's scroll position to
the final location of each child node. However, _other layout actions_
may result in a situation where `ScrollPosition` needs to be updated.
Consider a 1000 pixel tall vertically scrolling list of 100 elements,
each 100 pixels tall. Scrolled to the bottom, the
`ScrollPosition.offset_y` is 9000, just enough to display the last
element in the list. When removing an element from that list, the new
desired `ScrollPosition.offset_y` is 8900, but, critically, that is not
known until after the sizes and positions of the children of the
scrollable node are resolved.
All user scrolling code today handles this by delaying the resolution by
one frame. One notable disadvantage of this is the inability to support
`WinitSettings::desktop_app()`, since there would need to be an input
AFTER the layout change that caused the scroll position to update for
the results of the scroll position update to render visually.
I propose the alternative in this PR, which allows for same-frame
resolution of scrolling layout.
**Resolution**
_Edit: Below resolution is outdated, and replaced with the simpler usage
of taffy's `Layout::content_size`._
When recursively iterating the children of a node, each child now
returns a `Vec2` representing the location of their own bottom right
corner. Then, `[[0,0, [x,y]]` represents a bounding box containing the
scrollable area filled by that child. Scrollable parents aggregate those
areas into the bounding box of _all_ children, then consider that result
against `ScrollPosition` to ensure its validity.
In the event that resolution of the layout of the children invalidates
the `ScrollPosition` (e.g. scrolled further than there were children to
scroll to), _all_ children of that node must be recursively
repositioned. The position of each child must change as a result of the
change in scroll position.
Therefore, this implementation takes care to only spend the cost of the
"second layout pass" when a specific node actually had a
`ScrollPosition` forcibly updated by the layout of its children.
## Testing
Examples in `ui/scroll.rs`. There may be more complex node/style
interactions that were unconsidered.

## Showcase
## Alternatives
- `bevy_ui` doesn't support scrolling.
- `bevy_ui` implements scrolling with a one-frame delay on reactions to
layout changes.

## Migration Guide
> This section is optional. If there are no breaking changes, you can
delete this section.
- If this PR is a breaking change (relative to the last release of
Bevy), describe how a user might need to migrate their code to support
these changes
rename any use of `push_children()` to the updated `add_children()`
# Objective
- Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/14991. The `cosmic-text`
shape run cache requires manual cleanup for old text that no longer
needs to be cached.
## Solution
- Add a system to trim the cache.
- Add an `average fps` indicator to the `text_debug` example.
## Testing
Tested with `cargo run --example text_debug`.
- **No shape run cache**: 82fps with ~1fps variance.
- **Shape run cache no trim**: 90-100fps with ~2-4fps variance
- **Shape run cache trim age = 1**: 90-100fps with ~2-8fps variance
- **Shape run cache trim age = 2**: 90-100fps with ~2-4fps variance
- **Shape run cache trim age = 2000**: 80-120fps with ~2-6fps variance
The shape run cache seems to increase average FPS but also increases
frame time variance (when there is dynamic text).

incorrectly.

# Objective
- The examples use a more verbose than necessary way to initialize the
image
- The order of the camera doesn't need to be specified. At least I
didn't see a difference in my testing
## Solution
- Use `Image::new_fill()` to fill the image instead of abusing
`resize()`
- Remove the camera ordering
# Objective
- Add custom images as cursors
- Fixes#9557
## Solution
- Change cursor type to accommodate both native and image cursors
- I don't really like this solution because I couldn't use
`Handle<Image>` directly. I would need to import `bevy_assets` and that
causes a circular dependency. Alternatively we could use winit's
`CustomCursor` smart pointers, but that seems hard because the event
loop is needed to create those and is not easily accessable for users.
So now I need to copy around rgba buffers which is sad.
- I use a cache because especially on the web creating cursor images is
really slow
- Sorry to #14196 for yoinking, I just wanted to make a quick solution
for myself and thought that I should probably share it too.
Update:
- Now uses `Handle<Image>`, reads rgba data in `bevy_render` and uses
resources to send the data to `bevy_winit`, where the final cursors are
created.
## Testing
- Added example which works fine at least on Linux Wayland (winit side
has been tested with all platforms).
- I haven't tested if the url cursor works.
## Migration Guide
- `CursorIcon` is no longer a field in `Window`, but a separate
component can be inserted to a window entity. It has been changed to an
enum that can hold custom images in addition to system icons.
- `Cursor` is renamed to `CursorOptions` and `cursor` field of `Window`
is renamed to `cursor_options`
- `CursorIcon` is renamed to `SystemCursorIcon`

# Objective
This idea came up in the context of a hypothetical "text sections as
entities" where text sections are children of a text bundle.
```rust
commands
.spawn(TextBundle::default())
.with_children(|parent} {
parent.spawn(TextSection::from("Hello"));
});
```
This is a bit cumbersome (but powerful and probably the way things are
headed). [`bsn!`](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437)
will eventually make this nicer, but in the mean time, this might
improve ergonomics for the common case where there is only one
`TextSection`.
## Solution
Add a `with_child` method to the `BuildChildren` trait that spawns a
single bundle and adds it as a child to the entity.
```rust
commands
.spawn(TextBundle::default())
.with_child(TextSection::from("Hello"));
```
## Testing
I added some tests, and modified the `button` example to use the new
method.
If any potential co-authors want to improve the tests, that would be
great.
## Alternatives
- Some sort of macro. See
https://github.com/tigregalis/bevy_spans_ent/blob/main/examples/macro.rs#L20.
I don't love this, personally, and it would probably be obsoleted by
`bsn!`.
- Wait for `bsn!`
- Add `with_children_batch` that takes an `Into<Iterator>` of bundles.
```rust
with_children_batch(vec![TextSection::from("Hello")])
```
This is maybe not as useful as it sounds -- it only works with
homogeneous bundles, so no marker components or styles.
- If this doesn't seem valuable, doing nothing is cool with me.
# Objective
- Fixes#11219
## Solution
- Scaling calculations use texture dimensions instead of layout
dimensions.
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
All UI examples look fine.

specific they need to know?

# Objective
The borders example is separate from the rounded borders example. If you
find the borders example, you may miss the rounded borders example.
## Solution
Merge the examples in a basic way, since there is enough room to show
all options at the same time.
I also considered renaming the borders and rounded borders examples so
that they would be located next to each other in repo and UI, but it
felt like having a singular example was better.
## Testing
```
cargo run --example borders
```

## Showcase
The merged example looks like this:
# Replace ab_glyph with the more capable cosmic-text
Fixes#7616.
Cosmic-text is a more mature text-rendering library that handles scripts
and ligatures better than ab_glyph, it can also handle system fonts
which can be implemented in bevy in the future
Rebase of https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8808
## Changelog
Replaces text renderer ab_glyph with cosmic-text
The definition of the font size has changed with the migration to cosmic
text. The behavior is now consistent with other platforms (e.g. the
web), where the font size in pixels measures the height of the font (the
distance between the top of the highest ascender and the bottom of the
lowest descender). Font sizes in your app need to be rescaled to
approximately 1.2x smaller; for example, if you were using a font size
of 60.0, you should now use a font size of 50.0.
## Migration guide
- `Text2dBounds` has been replaced with `TextBounds`, and it now accepts
`Option`s to the bounds, instead of using `f32::INFINITY` to inidicate
lack of bounds
- Textsizes should be changed, dividing the current size with 1.2 will
result in the same size as before.
- `TextSettings` struct is removed
- Feature `subpixel_alignment` has been removed since cosmic-text
already does this automatically
- TextBundles and things rendering texts requires the `CosmicBuffer`
Component on them as well
## Suggested followups:
- TextPipeline: reconstruct byte indices for keeping track of eventual
cursors in text input
- TextPipeline: (future work) split text entities into section entities
- TextPipeline: (future work) text editing
- Support line height as an option. Unitless `1.2` is the default used
in browsers (1.2x font size).
- Support System Fonts and font families
- Example showing of animated text styles. Eg. throbbing hyperlinks

# Objective
Fixes#14120
`ui_texture_slice` and `ui_texture_atlas_slice` were working as
intended, so undo the changes.
## Solution
Partially revert https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/14115 for
`ui_texture_slice` and `ui_texture_atlas_slice`.
## Testing
Ran those two examples, confirmed the border color is the thing that
changes when buttons are hovered.
# Objective
- Some people have asked how to do image masking in UI. It's pretty easy
to do using a `UiMaterial` assuming you know how to write shaders.
## Solution
- Update the ui_material example to show the bevy banner slowly being
revealed like a progress bar
## Notes
I'm not entirely sure if we want this or not. For people that would be
comfortable to use this for their own games they would probably have
already figured out how to do it and for people that aren't familiar
with shaders this isn't really enough to make an actual slider/progress
bar.

# Objective
In Bevy 0.13, `BackgroundColor` simply tinted the image of any
`UiImage`. This was confusing: in every other case (e.g. Text), this
added a solid square behind the element. #11165 changed this, but
removed `BackgroundColor` from `ImageBundle` to avoid confusion, since
the semantic meaning had changed.
However, this resulted in a serious UX downgrade / inconsistency, as
this behavior was no longer part of the bundle (unlike for `TextBundle`
or `NodeBundle`), leaving users with a relatively frustrating upgrade
path.
Additionally, adding both `BackgroundColor` and `UiImage` resulted in a
bizarre effect, where the background color was seemingly ignored as it
was covered by a solid white placeholder image.
Fixes#13969.
## Solution
Per @viridia's design:
> - if you don't specify a background color, it's transparent.
> - if you don't specify an image color, it's white (because it's a
multiplier).
> - if you don't specify an image, no image is drawn.
> - if you specify both a background color and an image color, they are
independent.
> - the background color is drawn behind the image (in whatever pixels
are transparent)
As laid out by @benfrankel, this involves:
1. Changing the default `UiImage` to use a transparent texture but a
pure white tint.
2. Adding `UiImage::solid_color` to quickly set placeholder images.
3. Changing the default `BorderColor` and `BackgroundColor` to
transparent.
4. Removing the default overrides for these values in the other assorted
UI bundles.
5. Adding `BackgroundColor` back to `ImageBundle` and `ButtonBundle`.
6. Adding a 1x1 `Image::transparent`, which can be accessed from
`Assets<Image>` via the `TRANSPARENT_IMAGE_HANDLE` constant.
Huge thanks to everyone who helped out with the design in the linked
issue and [the Discord
thread](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1255209923890118697/1255209999278280844):
this was very much a joint design.
@cart helped me figure out how to set the UiImage's default texture to a
transparent 1x1 image, which is a much nicer fix.
## Testing
I've checked the examples modified by this PR, and the `ui` example as
well just to be sure.
## Migration Guide
- `BackgroundColor` no longer tints the color of images in `ImageBundle`
or `ButtonBundle`. Set `UiImage::color` to tint images instead.
- The default texture for `UiImage` is now a transparent white square.
Use `UiImage::solid_color` to quickly draw debug images.
- The default value for `BackgroundColor` and `BorderColor` is now
transparent. Set the color to white manually to return to previous
behavior.
# Objective
In a few examples, we're specifying a font or font size that is the same
as the current default value. Might as well use the default. That'll be
one less thing to worry about if we ever need to change the default font
size. (wink)
In a few others, we were using a value of `25.0` and it didn't seem like
it was different for an important reason, so I switched to the default
there too.
(There are a bunch of examples that use non-default font sizes for
various reasons. Not trying address them all here.)
