…gine#6211) # Objective Closes bevyengine#6202. The default background color for `NodeBundle` is currently white. However, it's very rare that you actually want a white background color. Instead, you often want a background color specific to the style of your game or a transparent background (e.g. for UI layout nodes). ## Solution `Default` is not derived for `NodeBundle` anymore, but explicitly specified. The default background color is now transparent (`Color::NONE.into()`) as this is the most common use-case, is familiar from the web and makes specifying a layout for your UI less tedious. --- ## Changelog - Changed the default `NodeBundle.background_color` to be transparent (`Color::NONE.into()`). ## Migration Guide If you want a `NodeBundle` with a white background color, you must explicitly specify it: Before: ```rust let node = NodeBundle { ..default() } ``` After: ```rust let node = NodeBundle { background_color: Color::WHITE.into(), ..default() } ```

What problem does this solve or what need does it fill?
The
NodeBundleis mostly used as a layout tool in Bevy UI.However, it derives the default
BackgroundColor, which is white.In almost all cases, this is not what you want and you end up manually specifying
Color::NONE.into()or a color other than white as a background color.What solution would you like?
Color::NONE.into()as a default forNodeBundle.background_color.Color::NONE.into()forNodeBundles.What alternative(s) have you considered?
BackgroundColortransparent, instead of just changing the default forNodeBundle. However,BackgroundColoris also used for tinting, where white is a sensible default.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
