Ok, so i'm developing a game and the most time consuming/boring part is making the GUI's. It wouldn't be so bad if I only needed a few buttons, but I'm making a very large menu for Robloxes standards. It's just painful to me to change those 2 little values size and position continuously for hours until everything just fits perfect, and even then im never satisfied with the looks. So I was wondering, what are your tips and tricks to making great looking GUI's?

I know this might not be specifically the correct form, but... You guys seem to be the most helpful and knowledgeable, so I thank you!

Btw I do know how to script (no expert) so you can use programming lingo in this thread with no problem!

You should reuse already created gui elements and also plan what you're going to make before you start making it (this will sp33d up the process), maybe make a sketch or something
There aren't a lot of tips for cases like this because that is ultimately how all of us create guis :]

There are a few plugins I saw laying around for your case. I never tried them though, so I don't know if they're any good.

A gui "Dragger" would be useful, so to resize rotate and make stuff look nicer!

There are plugins to manipulate guis but it doesn't fix problems with them resizing incorrectly when playing fullscreen or whatever th problem is.

@Morash exactly my point. Sometimes its a pain to move your studio screenaround just to check if the gui looks correct when using scale.
