UIEffect is a Unity package for adding visual effects to UI elements in games. Unity is a popular tool for building games and interactive apps, and its built-in UI system lets developers place buttons, images, and text on screen. UIEffect extends that system by letting you apply filters like grayscale (turning colored images gray), blur (making things look out-of-focus), and dissolve (a fading-away animation) to any UI element. You add effects by attaching a component to a UI object in the Unity Inspector, which is the panel where you adjust properties visually, and tuning the settings there. No code is required for basic use. Multiple filters can be layered together, so you can combine blur with a color shift or add a glowing edge outline to a button. Beyond individual effects, the package includes two companion components: UIEffectTweener, which animates effects over time (so you could fade a grayscale filter in when a button gets disabled), and UIEffectReplica, which copies one element's effects onto several others so you do not have to configure each separately. The package works with Unity 2020.3 and later, including both the Universal Render Pipeline and the High Definition Render Pipeline for modern visual styles, and it also supports VR projects. It integrates with TextMeshPro for styled text, ShaderGraph for custom shader setups, and Unity Timeline for scripted animation sequences. Only the shader code needed for your specific chosen effects is compiled, which keeps build times shorter than compiling every possible variant. The full README is longer than what was shown.
