Studio Widgets

A set of GUI elements to use in Roblox Plugins hosted in PluginGUIs. Widgets have a standard "Studio" look & feel.
 

Overview

With PluginGuis, your RobloxPlugins can create GUIs hosted in dockable widgets (as opposed to being hosted in 3d viewport).

We encourage plugin developers to use this library so that your GUIs have a standardized look & feel: colors, spacing, layout, etc.

We will keep these libraries up to date as Studio look & feel changes (e.g. automatic support for Dark Theme, when that happens).

Please contribute!

We will work hard to keep this library up to date, bug-free, etc.

That said, we have a small team and many competing priorities, so your efforts to improve this library are welcome and invited. Feel free to fork the repository and make fixes and improvements as you see fit. We will be happy to merge in any updates that fit within our vision of the library.

Coding conventions

Class and function names are CamelCase, starting with caps. Variable and member names are CamelCase, starting with lowercase. Members and methods of classes that begin with '_' are considered "private": should not be read or written outside the class.

local label = Instance.new("TextLabel")
label.Text = "Peekaboo!"
label.Size = UDim2.new(0, 60, 0, 20)
label.BackgroundTransparency = 1

scrollFrame:GetSectionFrame().Parent = widgetGui -- set the section parent

Bringing the project into studio

The easiest way to bring the project into studio is to use the HttpService to pull the contents directly from this github project into module scripts. After enabling the http service from Game Settings the following code can be run in the command bar.

local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local req = http:GetAsync("https://api.github.com/repos/Roblox/StudioWidgets/contents/src")
local json = http:JSONDecode(req)

local targetFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
targetFolder.Name = "StudioWidgets"
targetFolder.Parent = game.Workspace

for i = 1, #json do
	local file = json[i]
	if (file.type == "file") then
		local name = file.name:sub(1, #file.name-4)
		local module = targetFolder:FindFirstChild(name) or Instance.new("ModuleScript")
		module.Name = name
		module.Source = http:GetAsync(file.download_url)
		module.Parent = targetFolder
	end
end
