Heyy this frame filter is like the best thing ever for my UI! I slapped it on my game’s HUD and now my icons have these gorgeous borders with rounded edges – it’s giving major Figma energy. You just drag it on and play with the settings, so simple. I tried the texture fill mode and it looks amazing in URP, plus it runs smooth on my old laptop. Seeing the frames in edit mode is a total lifesaver for designing fast!  –  LoRaWANΒ 

Release Notes​

14 September 2025 - Version 1.9.5

Highlight: πŸš€ Culling Performance Improvements​

Changed

  • Nintendo Switch platform now detected and uses same quality options as mobile (reduced shader precision and downsampled texture resolution) instead of the more expensive desktop quality.
  • FilterStackTextMeshPro property UpdateOnTransform now disabled by default, which improves performance when using Canvas FilterRenderSpace mode, especially useful in a ScrollRect - this is possible due to improving RectMask2D culling support mentioned below.

Improved

  • Filter components now handle RectMask2D culling correctly, leading to huge performance improvements, especially for common cases such as having many child UI elements in a ScrollRect.
  • Frame Filter has a new gradient fill and border mode: Conic. Additionally all gradient fill modes now have new Offset and Scale properties so the gradient can be adjusted, and a new Scroll Speed propety allowing for easy gradient offset animation.
  • Filter Stack (Text MeshPro) filters now sorted alphabetically to make finding filters easier.
  • Faster and more accurate detection code for detecting premultiplied alpha shaders.
  • FilterStackTextMeshPro generates less garbage now.
  • FilterStackTextMeshPro and FilterBase have new logic to detect HDR output from filters and switch to appropriate texture formats.
  • All shaders optimised to produce fewer vertex shader variants, saving compile time and memory.

Fixed

  • Fixed bug in FilterStackTextMeshPro where disabling the last filter would render a solid quad.
10 August 2025 - Version 1.9.3

Added

  • Frame Filter has new Chamfer corner shape mode, and new Linear gradient fill mode.

Improved

  • Added Preferences option to make the Inspector UI more compact by showing/hiding the components header/footer buttons.
  • TextMeshPro & UI Toolkit are now automatically detected, so options to enable support have been remove from Preferences.
  • Composite shader pow(0.5) changed to sqrt for performance.

Fixed

  • Fixed incorrect handling of vertex color gamma/linear conversion in Filter Stack TextMeshPro that would cause the color to darken over time.
  • Fixed regression introduced in 1.9.2 for RectMask2D causing FilterStackTextMeshPro to render incorrectly when removing the last filter in the list.
6 August 2025 - Version 1.9.2

Fixed

  • Fixed buggy downsampling implementation introduced in 1.9.0 for handling texture that are larger than the system can handle. This manifested recently in world-space canvas rendering issues. Also added logging for when this happens.
  • Fixed a rendering issue in FilterStackTextMeshPro when using RectMask2D for masking without UpdateOnTransform enabled and with Render Space set to Canvas - it wouldn't update the culling status as it went in/out of the rectangle.
5 July 2025 - Version 1.9.1

Fixed

  • Fixed regression from version 1.9.0 related to [ExecuteAlways] where exiting play mode while editing a UIFX prefab would result in an error and incorrect rendering.
28 June 2025 - Version 1.9.0

Improved

  • Added a better fallback path for when filters request a texture size larger than the system supports - previously materials were rendered without a texture leading to incorrect rendering - but now a warning is issued and the nearest supported texture size is used.
  • All filters and effects now use [ExecuteAlways] instead of [ExecuteInEditMode] attribute to improve support for the prefab editor.

Fixed

  • Fixed bug in FilterStackTextMeshPro where it would render fallback fonts using incorrectly alpha blending leading to visual artifacts.
30 May 2025 - Version 1.8.10

Improved

Fixed

  • Fixed regressions introduced in 1.8.9 for the FilterStackTextMeshPro component related to HasMeshChanged() method.
  • Fixed issue in FilterStackTextMeshPro when in Canvas mode setting the relative font size scaling wouldn't set the correct expand values, leading to cropping.
23 May 2025 - Version 1.8.9

Improved

  • Performance has been improved when using the Text Animator asset. Rendering no longer updates continually either for text that doesn't contain a Text Animator component, or when the animation is not updating the vertex data.
  • AnimationCurve properties on various filters and effects now show a warning when keyframe values are out of expected range.
24 April 2025 - Version 1.8.8

Highlight: πŸš€ New Text Animator Support​

Improved

  • Added support for the popular asset Text Animator.
  • Frame Filter component has a new Source Area property that allows the RectTransform to specify the bounds of the frame.
3 April 2025 - Version 1.8.6

Fixed

  • Fixed several shaders to resolve very strict XBox and PS5 compilation errors.
  • Fixed bug where TextMeshPro bounds were incorrectly calculated, resulting in things like underline sometimes not being rendered.
  • Fixed TextMeshPro shaking when using 3rd-party text animation plugins like Text Animator.
  • Fixed rare divide by zero bug in bounds padding calculation.
8 March 2025 - Version 1.8.5

Added

  • All filters now have a new Expand property which controls whether the filter expands to fit the filter or keeps it's original size. This is useful to keep the filters within a region such as the new CameraSource component.

Improved

  • FrameFilter component Softness property for anti-aliasing can now produce sharper edges and is higher quality.
  • Added Radial gradient property to FrameFilter.
  • FilterHoverStrength component now supports multiple filters.
29 January 2025 - Version 1.8.4

Fixed

  • Fixed bug where FilterStackTextMeshPro component would sometimes render to texture size too large due to including dummy null vertices - this also manifested in the pivot point affecting texture size. This fix will also improve performance in some cases due to smaller RenderTexture sizes.
17 January 2025 - Version 1.8.3

Fixed

  • Fixed bug in FilterStackTextMeshPro that created rendering artifacts when switching Strength to zero via scripting.
  • Fixed multiple selection logic for displaying of button to create FilterStackTextMeshPro component.
15 January 2025 - Version 1.8.2

Fixed

  • Fixed bug where having multiple canvases would use the incorrect Canvas for the canvasLocalScale and thus render TextMeshPro incorrectly with FilterRenderSpace.Canvas.
14 January 2025 - Version 1.8.1

Fixed

  • Fixed various bugs with FilterStackTextMeshPro when working with multiple selected objects.
  • Fixed issue with blurry TextMeshPro when using Canvas with a Camera with a small orthographic size and FilterRenderSpace.Canvas.

Other

  • Copyright messages updated to 2025.
  • DisallowMultipleComponent attribute added to FilterStackTextMeshPro.
22 December 2024 - Version 1.8.0

New

  • First release!
