Studio Beta for Experience Controls Available Now

Yes it did, just now with the release of version 603

? This was released before 20th?

On Roblox Studio it has been since quite a while now, if you have the Beta feature enabled.

Hmmmm, it seems to be working with the gradient selection for me. Iā€™ll try updating and checking it out

Or use fastflags {"FFlagEnableInGameMenuChrome": "True"} on Bloxstrap

While I would really like to have the option to pick which side that it appears on too, consider that keeping it on one side makes it appear consistently across games. Players need to be able to locate these controls and access them the exact same way across every game. Consistency and appearance is very important, otherwise it creates a bad user experience and causes confusion.

Maybe this is a bit nitpicky, but why is the ā€œexperience controlsā€ icon a cube? To me, a cube doesnā€™t signal ā€œcontrolsā€, it signals ā€œsomething related to 3D spaceā€. This sort of UI button already has a fairly universal symbol (three lines aka the hamburger menu icon). Is there any reason for cube over hamburger?

also in gamepad menu

People will be disable the controls but what if Roblox remove the menu button and place the controls there then in the controls there 2 extra buttons menu and leave like menu on the side from report or better replace report for menu and 2 aouto selected buttons leave button and chat this fully cleanup space and you donā€™t have to disable the controls fully @JuiceBoxYoda

Edit: and the icons from the controls can be the Roblox logo then and can be here a way to detect when experience controls open or not to disable Gui you made

I forgot to mention it, but why is the second line in the ā€œXā€ icon larger than the first one?

I very much hate it that Roblox just keeps making changes developers donā€™t want and we just have to adapt to it while trying to avoid Rthro as much as possible. This is what is making me consider leaving and starting a career on Steam or Google Play (even if itā€™s paid to upload games on them, I donā€™t care, they are a better service)

It seems that this new topbar has now offset some UI elements in my game (IgnoreGUIInset = true, screeninset is DeviceSafeInsets), for instance, a frame thatā€™s supposed to follow the mouseā€™s position is now offset, and I canā€™t get rid of it without having to manually change a y-axis offset by a specific number (which I do not want to do in the case of future changes to the topbar pixel size).

For reference, it is supposed to look like this:

I suggest an option to change pixel size of the top bar, or to simply keep it the same size to avoid unnecessary disruptions (I am one of the users who has this rolled out, and certain games have offset UI elements as well, which is annoying). If the reason for the increase is for accessibility purposes, make it an option as an accessibility setting. Not everybody needs larger UI, and sometimes it makes for limiting use of space.

Easy fix: instead of subtracting exactly 36 pixels, subtract GuiService.TopbarInset.Height.

Iā€™ve seen some of the players getting the new UI but some donā€™t, is there a way of detecting the new UI so that we can adapt our own UI depending on wether theyā€™re using the new top bar or the old one?
