I currently have a problem on a UI.
The button on the phone moves when changing resolution and changes size as well. On the screenshots, it is in the General Panel. I also tried to put a second panel of the size of the phone, but it is all this panel that moves and changes size. How can I do, to keep the buttons at the right size and in place, as the background does when changing resolution?
Thanks in advance !
You need to change the UI Scale Mode to "Scale With Screen Size".
THe Reference Resolution can help you place items in the editor. You can choose wether you want the width or the height (or a mixture) to be preferred when fitting the canvas to the resolution.
If you, for example, choose "Width" in the "Match" slider, the elements will never overshoot horizontally. This would be perfect for wrapping textfields.

sorry I have to put all of this as an image but I couldn't post this with text as when creating the original post something happened to where it was flagged as spam. I figured this would be the only way?
Unity's UI screen is different from the in-game world space.
For the UI part you can easily fix the issue of the size and position by considering the following:
First thing you need to check is the Canvas Scaler component which is automaticaly generated on your Canvas gameobject.
Canvas Scaler Example
First under The UI Scale Mode you should choose the "Scale with Screen Size" which will make UI elements bigger the bigger the screen is.
Second is the Reference Resolution which is the resolution the UI layout is designed for. If the screen resolution is larger, the UI will be scaled up, and if it's smaller, the UI will be scaled down. A good example is to set the dimensions int something like this (1920x1080) which is the most common landscape resolution.
Third is the Screen Match Mode which is a mode used to scale the canvas area if the aspect ratio of the current resolution doesn't fit the reference resolution. With other words if you change your in-game resolution this will handle your UI elements.
Fourth is Match which will determine if the scaling is using the width or height as reference, or a mix in between. So if your game is in landscape mode you should set it to 0, if it's in portrait mode you should set it to 1.
Last thing to keep in mind that will affect your UI elements position is the Anchor presets which is part of the Rect Transform component on each of your UI elements.
I've figured out how to make the maximize portion of this work using the aspect ratio built in function on a button to scale a panel up to the full size of the screen. Haven't been able to find anywhere how to get it to back down to its previous size.
My UI elements inside my panels are scaling fine with screen size, but the distance between my different panels is not. I have 3 panels in my scene at different relative position which i set at 1920x1080 reference resolution, and switching between them using animation. But when i change the game view resolution, these panels do not align themselves right. Here are the screenshots:
These are the panels at 1920x1080 which i set.
These are the panels when i set game view resolution to 2340x1080. As you can see, the "settings" panel is still fine but the "more settings" panel does not repositioned correctly.
The same thing happens when i set game resolution to 800x480.
Please help me..
The easiest way you can achieve what you are attempting to do is to use a component called GridLayoutGroup. Add this component to a parent object, child all three of your UI elements to it, and set the column count to 2. I can add an example in a bit, currently building a project.
Edit: Here is a gif example of the above solution.
I want to keep my UI looking the same no matter which resolution the screen is at I am running of 16:10 in my game view and I want the UI to stay the exactly the same and centered even if the screen resolution changes.
Screenshot of UI
For the UI in the screenshot, I assume you want it always at the bottom of the screen and always the width of the screen.
For always taking up the width of the screen, select your canvas and go to its canvas scalar component. 'Change UI Scale Mode' to 'Scale with Screen Size' and adjust Reference Resolution to a resolution that looks good for you. Then the canvas elements will be the same width on all resolutions.
For always staying centered at the bottom of the screen, select the UI elements themselves, or their parent if they have one. Change their anchor to bottom center.
For more information about how to design for all screen resolutions, check the documentation as Hellium suggested!
I created a simple Text on scene. When I change resolution to 1080x1920 it changes its the size. . As you can see in second picture text size lower than first So how can I solve the problem?
click on the canvas in the hierarchy, than change in the inspector the size mode (i forgot it's name in unity) , and choose physical size, or something else, and tweak the scaling to 0.5,so the text will be scaled with the screen resolution changes, hope it fix ur issue
