Widgets
Categories:
Widgets are standalone UI components that handle specific UI scenarios outside the page navigation hierarchy. Unlike pages, which are navigated to and from, widgets activate and deactivate in response to game events — a load screen appears during a stage transition, a pause menu overlays gameplay when the player pauses.
For usage guides and setup examples, see The Basics: GS_UI.
