Question by tomekkie2 · Jan 19, 2014 at 01:30 PM · cameracolorbackgroundviewport

A way to set a custom camera.viewport background color?

You can easily setup the camera.backgroundColor in the inspector, but - when limiting the camera viewport - how to change the viewport background color from its default gray to anything else?

How would you do that? Put a GUI.Box or draw a gui coloured texture over it?

What do you mean by "limiting the camera viewport"? Do you mean making the viewport take up only part of the available screen space by setting its camera.rect attribute through code or via the Inspector?

You should be able to set its camera.backgroundColor attribute via code, and ensure that its camera.clearFlags attribute is set to CameraClearFlags.SolidColor.

In C# code for a script attached to the camera in question, it'd look like this:

 camera.backgroundColor = Color.cyan; //set whatever colour you want
 camera.clearFlags = CameraClearFlags.SolidColor;

I mean by setting its camera.pixelRect through code or via the Inspector exactly. That code works for the camera, not viewport background.

The best way that I have found to do this is to create another camera in your scene at the lowest depth and set that camera's background color to whatever you like. In my case, I chose white so the game fits in better on Facebook's layout.

Step by step instructions:

  • Choose GameObject -> Create Other -> Camera

  • Set Clear Flags to Solid Color

  • Set Background to whatever you like

  • Set Culling Mask to Nothing

  • Set Depth value to -2
