In this video, we use a NinePatchRect in Godot 3.2 to create a flexible, stylized background that can be used for UI in your games. We talk through the creation of the art asset, setting up a NinePatchRect node, and save our work as a dedicated Scene that can be instanced in other parts of our projects.
