    I'm attempting to highlight the borders of a UI Image element to simulate a selection. I've tried http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php?title=Silhouette-Outlined_Diffuse and http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/Outlined_Diffuse_3. The Silhouette one partially works, but only in the editor, only two sides have a border. As soon as I hit the play button the effect of the shader is completely gone to the camera. The outlined diffuse one didn't work at all.

    What are my options for highlighting a UI image element?

    Didn't know that was a thing.
    It works, but it has a minor thing I don't like. I can make do with it if that's the best.
    When I set the outline to be active and I set it's color to yellow the outline is yellow everywhere but the top segment, which is orange. Is this because it borders an orange portion of my image?
