    Hey,

    is it possible to find out via Editor Script what Label ( GUIobject ) is selected in the Hierarchy and modify its color / backgroundcolor ?
    I search for 2 days now... :/

    i can't finger it out how to modify existing Editor GUI element.

    Thx for any tips!

    What you can do is to give a tag to an GUI Element and than check if it's selected.

    Code (CSharp):
    1. if (GUI.GetNameOfFocusedControl() == "numberField"){
    2.       GUI.backgroundColor = Color.blue;
    3. }
    4.  
    5. GUI.SetNextControlName("numberField");
    6. number = EditorGUILayout.FloatField(number);
    7.  
    8. GUI.backgroundColor = Color.white;
    i don't know if there's another easier way because you have to name every control you want to check for.

    In the case of wanting to have a different color of the text label based on which script is attached to the object, how would you assign the color based on that condition?
