Background of GUI.TextField disappears when using a GUIStyle

Question

When I add a GUIStyle to my GUI.TextField, the dark bakground of the TextField disappears and the TextField seems to be invisible. Is there any way to keep the background but still use a GUIStyle?

 value = GUI.TextField(new Rect(25, 25, 200, 30), value, 10, guiStyle);

Hey there, you could grab the background properties from the default text field GUIStyle, you could do something like...

     public GUIStyle customGUIStyle;
     bool hasAssignedStyleProperties = false;
 
     void OnGUI()
     {
         if (!hasAssignedStyleProperties)
         {
             customGUIStyle.normal.background = GUI.skin.textField.normal.background;
             customGUIStyle.active.background = GUI.skin.textField.active.background;
             customGUIStyle.hover.background = GUI.skin.textField.hover.background;
             customGUIStyle.focused.background = GUI.skin.textField.hover.background;
   
             hasAssignedStyleProperties = true;
         }

         //do GUI stuff here...
 
     }

Hope this helps.
