Hi,

I’m trying to build a scrolling bar the contains different sized buttons:

enter image description here

As you can see, if I use the separation attribute of HBoxContainer, the buttons are evenly spaced, creating irregular gaps between each other.

I have tried all sorts of combination of Size Flags and Stretch Ratio. I haven’t been able to:

  1. get the buttons to space according to their size (with a small margin between each) and
  2. keep the box scrollable.

The HBoxContainer is placed inside a ScrollContainer and each button is subsequently added as a child of the HBoxContainer in the scripts.

At this point any help would be welcome!

Thanks

Not sure if anyone has or will see this but essentially, the gist of the problem is that I can’t seem to align all buttons to the left. For some reason, they are being spaced out equally as per their left side, essentially creating a gap. What I want is for them to all be crammed to the left side, much like with display: flex in CSS.
