UIX: Height offset for UI elements
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Many VR games use depth as an element to make UIs more interesting, for example buttons that "pop out" of the menu on hover. Currently, it is only possible to create "flat" UIs using UIX.
Describe the solution you'd like
An option to specify a height offset for elements on a UIX canvas to allow individual UI elements to be visually offset from the canvas surface. This could be used to create the aforementioned effects and allow creating more interesting UI styles for VR users.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Creating physical menus instead, however, that way you loose access to UIX features like the powerful layouting.
Additional Context
No response
We can add this relatively easily on itself, but the layouting and everything would still treat everything like flat.
The weirdest part would be masking, because it would actually change depending on the angle you look at UI from, if you don't ofsset the mask too.
It should be workable though, just something to be wary of when added.
