UNITY: Everything looks Low Resolution. Even SVG vectors - unity3d

I'm new to Unity so Hopefully this is an easy fix.
So everything looks super low res for me. I wish my images looked high res.
Even SVG looks low res even though they're vector nodes, I don't get that at all but I assume Unity doesn't play with svg yet? the black outline graphic is SVG, the rest are PNG with alpha.
Take a peek at my three different windows. Let me know your suggestions (remember I don't know anything so the easiest thing can been overlooked)

There is a "Scale" slider on top of the game view. Right now it is set to 2.8x. When you do that Unity just zooms in but it doesn't set the the resolution or actually change anything at all. It's like moving the screen really close to your face :D Nothing else besides that particulat window is affected by this setting. So my advice would be to always keep it at 1. Unless you want to see something specific at the screen of course

How do i make a 3d game pixel perfect? so that there is no anti aliasing or other filtering applied

This is what the game looks like in the 'game' window in unity, which is what it should look like https://ibb.co/xjst4vw achieved by removing all lighting including ambient lighting.
And this is what it looks once built https://ibb.co/4RcbMv8
Why is there a haze in the border between colors? How do I get it to be pixel perfect?
The aspect ratio of the in editor display is 160x144
I have change the game resolution by going to >edit >project setting >player and changing the height and width to the right size
The camera is also passing to a render texture which is of the right size, with the filter mode set to point.
I cant figure out what is causing this. to my knowledge All lighting is turned off. It looks like some up scaling error or maybe some sort of anti-aliasing effect which has also been turned off everywhere i could find.
Does anyone have an idea about what might be causing this? thanks.
There is postprocessing window in unity where you can specify such things like antyaliasing and so on. I think that this will make your game pixel perfect.
Found the answer to my own question the resolution in the >edit >project setting >player >resolution and presentation need to be as high res as it can be so in my case for a 1920x1080 screen it should 1120,1008 which is 160x144 scaled up by 7.
Then send data from you're main camera to a render texture that is set to the resolution you want (in my case 160x144) and create UI canvas that takes up the whole screen and a raw image as a child. Then put the render texture you created in the texture.

Is it posibile to change the focus for Camera Module V2?

I am using the camera for reading some text and currently, my images look quite blurry
Is it possible to change the focus of the camera?
I am using
https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/camera-module-v2/
Yes, it's definitely possible, I did it many times. Sometimes in the camera box there is even a specific tool to rotate the lens included (check if you have it, I experienced that it's not always present). If you don't have a tool take thin pliers and rotate the lens, you can look here.

How to create a slider without an outline?

I want to create a slider without an outline.
Like this one:
Note rounded edges.
I assume I need to create a sprite for that. Unfortunately, I can't find any good tutorials on sprites for sliders. I think the easiest way would be to edit the built-in one but I don't know how to get it for editing.
This is how the original slider from my Unity looks like:
Note the outline.
So, surprising solution that should be available to all of us.
Put the default slider in and go to the Source Image for both the Background and Handle. Instead of using what is there, change it to another Unity Standard sprite called TouchpadSprite. This should do the trick. Not sure if the fact that this is called 'touchpad'sprite will cause a problem when make a PC game, but I doubt it. FYI the TouchpadSprite is from the "Standard Assets (for Unity 2017.3)" that is available for free in the Unity Asset Store. Feel free to only import the sprite itself. The Asset Pack itself is pretty large, but there is a lot of good/useful stuff in there.
Also, you will have to increase the Pixels Per Unit Multiplier value. My picture shows what I had to increase it to. This will allow you to choose the rounding of your edges as well. Play with it and let me know if it works.
Hope this helps!

really high resolutions become pixelated, as if the camera is zoomed in too much

I'm working on a Unity 2D project and making the levels at the moment.
For some reason even really high resolutions (higher than 1920x1080) become really pixelated. It's like the camera is zoomed in too much. My player is rendered at a scale of 0.2x0.2.
I've tried changing the z-depth of camera back but everything still becomes very pixelated. Really frustrating because edges of tiles on the screen become really pixelated.
Anyone had any issue or can think of anything that will help solve this?
here's a picture of it in the editor mode. Based on the tile grid you can see everything's really tiny and it's awfully zoomed in. Not sure how to fix this.
In game:
Noticed how pixelated it is. Thanks
On your first screenshot the sprites are also pixelated.
Every time you see bad image quality - checkout import settings. Try to increase max size. Also try different format. You should find the suitable values for yourself.
I find that when I set the export settings to Android, everything gets pixelated, even skies (I suppose it does that in order to adapt to the device's lower capacity). Turning export settings back to web player for example, solves this issue.

Unity sprites don't render properly

I recently came across a problem I can't solve which involves not being able to draw my sprites properly. I have tried a lot of different things and couldn't find any solution.
Here is how the image should look like in unity:
And here is how it actually looks like:
If someone could tell me how to fix this, I would be very grateful.
Presumably the top image is a screenshot of your image manipulation program, many of which use the chequerboard pattern to mean transparency. As such, the image you have exported is a gradient going from almost solid white at the bottom to transparent at the top. This is why the image appears as such in Unity.
Also, if you're wondering why the image appears as though it has bands of different colours, this is due to a problem called colour banding. This can be fixed by using a technique called Dither (which adds some noise to the image), but how you do so will depend on which image manipulation program you are using.
