    Is it possible to apply material for all UI elements in the same hierarchy without assigning them one by one?
    if I have a complex hierarchy of UI and for example i want to grey out the whole UI using a shader/greyscale material, i want to be able to just assign it on one component, like you can set alpha value in a canvas group.

    @wihu @larku Curious if you guys ever found a good way.

    I did ship a large game with the whole "find and set all childrens' materials" solution, but it was slow/expensive and buggy. I don't want to do that again.
