    Is it possible to pan an UI element's image while keeping its position? Kinda like offsetting the UV.

    If you look at the gist above you will see an example for how we do "Shadow". What you will want to do is take this and instead of duplicating the passed in verts, just offset the UV's by some value / time (might not want to use a packed sprite here as it might mess up). Add an update function and call SetVertices dirty each frame on the attached Graphic and you should be good to go :)

    Thanks. I managed to pan the image, but it does not seem to repeat (like css repeat-x, repeat-y). Can this be done?

    What are the import settings on the texture? They need to be set to repeat and not clamp.

    It is configured to be a sprite/UI element. I don't see any option to configure clamp/repeat:

    Change type to advanced :) If you set it to 'sprite' first it will preserve all the default sprite settings when you open the advanced mode.
