Question by GameGuy · Nov 22, 2011 at 06:24 PM · guicolorchangebackgroundbox

Change color of Gui.Box background to solid black

Hey there,

I want to change the background Color of one particular Gui.Box in a Menu from a multiplied black to a solid black.

I know about Guistyles and creating own elements and also changing the color of an individual text element but with black this is not possible. I belive there is an easy solution via code like :

 GUI.color = Color.black;
 GUI.Box(Rect(10, 50, 50, 50), "A BOX");
 GUI.color = Color.white;

At the moment my workaround( I know it is a very bad approach) is to have more than one Gui.Box in a row to get a darker black:

 GUI.Box(Rect(10, 50, 50, 50), "A BOX");
 GUI.Box(Rect(10, 50, 50, 50), "A BOX");
 GUI.Box(Rect(10, 50, 50, 50), "A BOX");

But if I use this a few times the Draw Calls are exploding, has someone an idea how to disable the multiply of Color for one GuiBox, in an easy and quick way?

Use a custom GUIStyle or GUISkin.

 GUI.Box(Rect(10, 50, 50, 50), "A BOX", myStyle);

or

 GUISkin = mySkin;
 GUI.Box(Rect(10, 50, 50, 50), "A BOX");

Sorry, maybe I explainded it a bit unclear that I want to avoid using an new GUIStyle or GUISkin, just changing from color.black.multiply to color.black.solid ! -But I belive if You had known a better or faster way of doin it you already had said it before :)

If you don't want to use a GUIStyle, you could just use:

GUI.DrawTexture(someRectangle, someBlackImage);

You could then draw your box on top of that with no background image.
