As of right now, UICorners do not respect the ClipsDescendants property of Frame objects

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to … utilize the ClipsDescendants property with Frames that also use UICorner components.

If this issue is addressed, it would improve my development experience because … I will be able to properly clip GuiObjects within Frames that utilize UICorners.

Use cases:

  • Primary usecase is creating a main Frame with a UICorner then anything within the frame being clipped respecting the corners created with UICorner
  • Having a full-sized ScrollingFrame within a container utilizing a UICorner - e.g. for inventory systems, settings screens, anything with large amounts of objects

I use rounded UI extensively in my game. There’s no good way to fit a rectangular clipping box into a frame with rounded corners. We badly need to be able to mask the corners. Deserves a bump.

The usecase looks like it will be convered by the new CanvasGroup feature.

We really need this, wish it had been implemented already. All these little things that should work but don’t add so much friction to making UI

Bumping this because I’ve not seen it mentioned on the roadmap, and it definitely would a be a great QoL improvement

CanvasGroups or CanvasFrames (forgot the name) have this functionality - use them instead for now.

Unfortunately, at low graphics qualities, they crap out. It makes the UI inside look blurry and pixelated.

You also can’t effectively ‘disable’ the canvasgroup so it renders like just a frame. That would be useful for only using it to fade in/out some menu. The settings menu does this, with the right flags enabled.

This.

CanvasGroups being pixelated, or even completely black in some cases really sucks.

As for “disabling” them, you can switch the ScreenGui ZIndexMode to Global, but of course that has some side effects. You can make it behave the same way as Sibling mode, but its a bit of a hassle.
Personally I have a module that changes the parent of all contents of a ui to a CanvasGroup when fading in/out, and then back to a normal frame. This works but unfortunately causes a flicker for 1 frame in some cases.
