Sprite Editor Unity 4.6: green box and Border parameters, what are they for?
It seems, that those green boxes in the 2d sprite editor are new in Unity 4.6. Also the Border parameter.
In the Manual they aren't mentioned... Unity Manual Sprite Editor
So, what are they for?
Don't have Unity in front of me right now, but I'd guess the borders are used for creating 9-slice sprites. Further, I'd guess that the green box is just a visualization of the defined borders.

Nine slice it is. Also worth noting that nine slicing is not new. It's been in place since the 2D tools were introduced.
but I have a book about 2D in Unity 4.3 and in those screenshots there is no border parameter O.o But thanks for the answers :)
9-slicing sprites is new in 4.6. It was introduced because of the new UI, and didn't exist in 4.5 or 4.3.
Huh. I was sure they were always there. $$anonymous$$y bad. $$anonymous$$aybe I'm thinking of the GUISkin
To make it behave exactly as it did prior to 4.6 simply set the borders all to zero.
