Question by ina · Dec 24, 2010 at 11:51 AM · guicolorruntimebackgroundgui-button

Specify background color of Gui.Button at runtime

How do you specify the background color of a GUI.Button - for making a limited button-click color palette, for example.

This is not the most efficient answer - I am really hoping someone can give me a better one!:

1) instead of using guilayer and guibutton, use mesh colliders. raycast to figure out which one was "clicked"

2) material.color tint each one

--

the alternative would be to create several solid colors as different materials - does not seem that efficient, especially having to load different textures just for the color

1) use a new texture for each color, and a new guibutton each

Have you looked at GUIStyle?

There does not appear to be a background color field in GUIStyle - either that or I"m missing something..
