GUI.DrawTexture behind GUIText?

    Hello everyone,

    I am trying to draw a textured box using GUI.DrawTexture, and I want it to appear BEHIND the GUIText object, but it only appears in front.

    I tried using GUI.depth = 1000 and GUI.depth = -1000 right before the call to DrawTexture, but none of that seems to be working.

    How can I get the texture to be drawn BEHIND the text?

    Thanks,
    Dalal

    It's not possible, since OnGUI is always drawn last. You either have to use a GUITexture instead of GUI.DrawTexture, or else use GUI.Label instead of GUIText.

    There is a version of GUI.Label that takes a GUIStyle object as a parameter. The GUIStyle contains various style states for different conditions like normal, hover, active, etc. The GUIStyleState class has a property to set the background image for the label. Unfortunately, there isn't a direct way to change the background colour from a simple colour property.

    to change the color of a gui.label, just change the gui.color before and after drawing it :)

    so for example
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. GUI.color = Color.red;
    3. GUI.Label(...);
    4. GUI.color = Color.white;
