Assigning string to GUIStyle

[Vesuvian]

Hey guys

I was reading through some NGUI code when I hit a bunch of lines that look like:

1. if (mBlueDot == null) mBlueDot = "sv_label_1";

Where mBlueDot is a GUIStyle.

This is absolutely fascinating to me on a bunch of levels, because I didn't know you could assign strings to GUIStyles, and I don't know what the operation here is actually intending to do.

Can someone please explain this to me?

Thanks,
Ves

Unity has a bunch of built-in GUI styles you can reference by name. That's what I'm doing there. I know there is a style called "sv_label_1", so I'm just choosing to use it.

Here, place this script in the Editor folder then use Window -> ShowEditorStyles.

Very cool! I can see this window being invaluable.
