Anchoring Control node to the corner of the Window no matter it's size, Stretch Mode is 2d/expand

Nanites

Hi,

is there a way to anchor a Control Node in a way that it will always be in the top right corner of the window? My game is set to stretch mode 2d/expand, so the main part always keeps the same aspect ratio (16:9 in my case).

However I would like to have the level number and life counter in the corner of the actual window, so for example on phones with 21:9 or wider screens, it will be in the actual corner and outside the 16:9 normal game screen.

I spend half a day trying different options, but none seems to be able to achieve this. I can do it with code, by getting the viewport size and calculating the offsets, but that seems kinda errorprone to me, especially since I can't possible test in with all possible resolutions, hdpi screens of all kind and such... Would much prefer a more "official" way to do it.

Made a horribly crude visual representation as I probably didn't explain it very well: The "landscape" is supposed to be the actual game.

When you select the control node, there will be a tab titled "Layout". Select that, then select the option that shows a box within whatever corner you want.

After a few more hours I figured it out - the problem was that I was trying to anchor a node that was a child of another Control node (which was the parent node of all my GUI). I had to move the level number to it's own "top level" Control node, which is now also a child of CanvasLayer like the GUI. Now it works as expected...
