I cant find out how to change the color of an existing shape. I am not using immediate render mode if that has anything to do with it. In the docs it specifies how to draw new shapes with no colors but not change the color of an existing one. I am specifically working with rectangles if that also helps.

Reporting a bug? please specify Unity version:

Reporting a bug? please specify Render Pipeline:

Built-in render pipeline

// you can assign references to shapes in public fields,
// or find them using GetComponent<Rectangle>(), // just like any other unity component
public Rectangle myRectangle;

void Awake() {
// the Color property can be set to change the color of the shape
myRectangle.Color = Color.red;
}

You can edit the colors and properties of shape components in their inspector!

Also, mind that the red box is the editor gizmo, not the shape itself, in case that's what you were looking at - I recommend turning off editor gizmos for Shapes components!

Im sorry I meant with code : ). That was very dumb of me

in that case you'd use the Color property!

Thank You!
