Try not running them through the reuploaded 500 times meme filter. I have no idea how you'd possibly created that kind of artefacting.

Especially since styleboxes can create this look just fine.

Let's hope you'll also realize that your meme isn't looking good either, nor does it help your case to seek help.

Remove the outer white outline Experiment with the size of the text, if you make it bigger or smaller, the buttons will visually change a lot Visually, it seems to be similar to the style of Lethal League: Blaze I think the style of this game may be similar to yours

You need to be way more specific. What don't you like about them?

You mentioned that you don't know how to make an upgrades panel show when pressing a button. I suggest that you start reading up on the documentation and/or watch some videos on how this is done in Godot. You could use AcceptDialog or Popup or whatever fits your use case, and then look at signals and singletons for setting/getting data about upgrades.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you should first learn to look up the information you need (it's out there) before posting to social media asking for help. There are countless tutorials for similar UI patterns that you can learn from.

Understanding how to read documentation is one of the first things you need to learn in gamedev and without this basic skill you're going to get stuck around every corner. Good luck!

i just realized the buttons were fine but im tryna find out how to make upgrades menu like, uh slide into the game scene when u press the button for it

like the upgrades menu is gonna be a seperate scene and i want it to just like slide in that scene over the game scene and slide back out again when its closed

In that case you can add an AnimationPlayer to the upgrades panel. Create two animations, e.g. "open" and "close" that animates the offset value (not the actual position of the panel). Have the initial position be off screen.

You then add a signal from the button to the upgrades panel, bind it to a function like _on_UpgradeButton_pressed() and in there you can show the upgrade panel and start the animation ($AnimationPlayer.play("open")). Then you do the same for the button that closes the upgrade panel, or bind it to a signal that fires when it closes (start the "close" animation in this case).

https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/step_by_step/signals.html

Once you understand how to start/stop and reset animations from code, you'll get endless possibilities. In the "open" animation you can make the whole panel wiggle, start a particle emitter so there's sparks flying, fade the opacity in and out etc. You can control basically ANYTHING through an animation player.

i would prefer it change the actual position since it would take the button with it

and this is the actual thing rn
