# Objective
- This is an adopted version of #10420
- The objective is to help debugging the Ui layout tree with helpful
outlines, that can be easily enabled/disabled
## Solution
- Like #10420, the solution is using the bevy_gizmos in outlining the
nodes
---
## Changelog
### Added
- Added debug_overlay mod to `bevy_dev_tools`
- Added bevy_ui_debug feature to `bevy_dev_tools`
## How to use
- The user must use `bevy_dev_tools` feature in TOML
- The user must use the plugin UiDebugPlugin, that can be found on
`bevy::dev_tools::debug_overlay`
- Finally, to enable the function, the user must set
`UiDebugOptions::enabled` to true
Someone can easily toggle the function with something like:
```rust
fn toggle_overlay(input: Res<ButtonInput<KeyCode>>, options: ResMut<UiDebugOptions>) {
if input.just_pressed(KeyCode::Space) {
// The toggle method will enable if disabled and disable if enabled
options.toggle();
}
}
```
Note that this feature can be disabled from dev_tools, as its in fact
behind a default feature there, being the feature bevy_ui_debug.
# Limitations
Currently, due to limitations with gizmos itself, it's not possible to
support this feature to more the one window, so this tool is limited to
the primary window only.
# Showcase
Ui example with debug_overlay enabled
And disabled
