SafeAreaPadding's "Unlocked" mode

[5argon]

Theoretically, it should be possible to make a side completely unlocked. Currently Zero is literally locking that side to 0 and doesn't allow you to move or animate it. It would be useful because mostly you only care of a single edge yet all other edges are stretched out or locked.

However layout programming is a lot of mind fucks and I don't think I want to tackle this problem right now.. the current implementation I belive already contains a lot of hacks that works just because I lock all sides.

For starters, the RectTransform system actually express the offset of one side as a combination of size delta and anchored position that in turn related to your pivot, so you dragging one side casually actually results in multiple value changes inside. Making this not trivial to implement.

I give up on this, usually "padding" means stretched out rect and I think it is usable for many problems as it is.
