Ignoring the GUI inset

[woot3 (Woot)]

Hey Developers!

We’ve got another awesome feature for you today!

Presenting IgnoreGuiInset: This property allows you to make a ScreenGui and its descendants completely ignore the GUI inset. This means you’ll no longer need to write code to position elements at the very top of the screen (or hard-code in the -36 pixel offset introduced by the top-bar).

This also means that an element with size 1, 0, 1, 0 will completely cover the entire screen, including the space beneath the top-bar.

This feature should be enabled on all platforms.

Stay innovative developers!

How does this interact with UserInputService, Mouse, GUI events, ScreenGui.AbsolutePosition, and other systems that involve screen coordinates?

The player list seems to be showing even when TopBar is disabled. Is this happening because of this change because it hasn’t happened since this was enabled.

EDIT: Appears to happen randomly for no reason. Must be an issue with :SetCore(‘TopbarEnabled’, false) or something.

Great question! Everything still uses the same coordinate space. If you have IgnoreGuiInset set to true then your GUIs will be positioned from 0, 0, 0, -36.
