How to stretch top and bottom portions of a sprite without stretching the middle...,Stretching the top and bottom portions of a sprite without stretching the middle...

Question

Hi! I would like to use a sprite for a button that runs along the vertical edge of the screen. I have uploaded an image of the sprite - I hope it is viewable. It resembles the tab of a folder.

Anyway, when applying t$$anonymous$$s sprite to the vertically-stretched button, the "tab" in the middle also stretches to fit the vertical edge. I would like for the tab to remain unchanged w$$anonymous$$le the top and bottom portions stretch. How can I do t$$anonymous$$s?

You should try slicing your sprites, so they can be stretched the way you want them to.

Sprite-slicing is the first solution I tried. However, I could not get those slices quite right. I need the top and bottom sections to stretch, not the middle. The slicing on Unity stretches the middle, however.

Been a while. Have you figured out how to do this? I have the same problem right now.
