You've literally split the sprite into multiple sprites. Instead you need to have it set to single, and set the "border" property on the sprite in the sprite editor.
Ok.. so if I begin with a new sprite I should keep it in single mode? But when in single mode the "Slice" option is greyed out (not possible to choose).
Or do you mean I first select multiple mode and slice it and THEN I change back to single mode?
Nono, don't slice it. Open it in the Sprite Editor and look for the "Border" property and mess with that.
