The New Look Beta ​

The panel has a new look in beta. Your projects, your buttons and everything you build are the same in both looks: only the screen changes. Switch as often as you like.

Try it, or go back ​

• To try it: in the Classic panel, press New look in the header.
• To go back: press the red Beta badge next to the logo, or Classic look under Help & resources on the right.

The panel remembers your choice in this browser. The Classic look is still the default and every page of these docs works in both; where the steps differ, a New look note tells you what to click.

The layout in one minute ​

The screen has three columns and a header. You pick something on the left, work on it in the center, and edit the details on the right.

Left column: your buttons ​

• HUD buttons lists every prim of the last scan. The crown marks the HUD's root prim; the number on the right is how many actions a button runs (a dash means none yet).
• Clicking a button opens it in the center. There is no separate "create function" step: a button's function is created the moment you add its first action.
• Functions lists the functions that are not buttons: helper functions, and functions of buttons that disappeared in a re-scan (with a ⚠️). The + next to the title creates one.
• Group chips above the list filter it by group. Drag a button that has actions onto a chip to put it in that group; Groups opens the group manager.
• Re-scan HUD at the bottom asks the HUD for its prims again.

Center: the actions of a button ​

• The top shows the button's name, how many actions it runs and how much of its memory limit it uses. Copy clones its actions to other buttons; the 🗑️ deletes everything the button does. When the project has groups, a group selector sits there too.

• Add action: type a name to search, or pick a category (Look, Object, Sound & anim, Messages, Logic). Press / anywhere to jump to the search, Enter to pick the first result, Esc to close it. PRO actions show a crown on FREE accounts.

  

• Runs in this order: the actions as numbered steps, top to bottom. Drag a step by its handle to reorder; the icons on the right clone or delete it. A step with a missing target says so in yellow.

• A Condition shows If true and If false under it. Click one to open that branch: a trail at the top (btn1 › If true) takes you back.

Right column: the inspector ​

Click a step and its form opens on the right. This replaces the old Edit Action window.

• Editing an action saves as you type. There is no Save button in the form: every valid change goes straight into the project (and Ctrl+Z undoes it). If a field is incomplete, the error shows at the bottom and nothing is changed until it is fixed.
• A new action needs the Add action button at the bottom of the inspector, because a new action always starts incomplete.
• Done (or Ctrl+Enter) and Esc close the inspector.
• Changes still reach Second Life only with Build, and the cloud copy with Save (or autosave).

With nothing selected, the right column shows Help & resources: these docs, What's new, Thanks, Feedback and Classic look.

Events, UI Mode and the windows ​

• Events is its own tab in the left column. The + (or New event) opens the event picker, and an event opens in the center like a button. See Registering an Event.

  

• UI Mode: the center shows the HUD texture where you draw buttons. The actions of a UI button open in a window, with the same editor and inspector inside. See UI Mode.

• Targets, Assets and Variables open from the header. Variables slides in from the right, with Yours and System tabs.

  

Where did it go? ​

Tell us what you think ​

The new look is in beta because we want your opinion before it becomes the default. Use Feedback in Help & resources, or tell Clicky what felt strange. Clicky knows both looks and gives directions for the one you have open.
