How to set up a default GUIStyle in the Inspector?

Question

Why this doesn't work? This is C#.

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class Whatever : MonoBehaviour {
    public string nomeAvatar = "";
    public GUIStyle estiloNome = "label";

 void OnGUI () {
     nomeAvatar = GUI.TextField(new Rect(10,10,200,20), nomeAvatar, 25, estiloNome);
 }

I wanted to have a custom GUIStyle in the inspector but default to "label".

In UnityScript:

 var estiloNome : GUIStyle = GUISkin.GetStyle("label");

hmm, if the equivalent public GUIStyle estiloNome = new GUISkin.GetStyle("label"); works on C#, I guess we have a winner! Can you test & post this?

The following worked for me:

 void OnGUI () 
 {
     if ( Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.X) ) {
         print(GUI.skin.GetStyle("toggle").padding.left);
     }
 }

Just declare ur GUISkin like this:

public GUISkin customSkin; (and don't forget to put ur GuiSkin in this public var in Inspector window)

And in OnGui, just whrite

GUI.skin = customSkin;

Now, u just have to edit the different setting of ur GuiSkin in Inspector window...

ps: old answer but that can be helpfull for someonelse

This can be useful indeed, but it's not what I asked. I wanted to set the default style in code and not in the inspector. I can't remember why, but there's usually a good reason to do something code-only without relying on the visual editor.

Really? I can't think of a reason in this case- since you can just change the skin in code anyway, and a GUI to that is simpler to use.

@syclamoth really. In this case picture if I'm creating the custom skin in run time, by the user, for instance. Or I simply want to leave the customization on code for Version Controlling it. It's not always the case, but yeah, really, there is usually a good reason for coding up.
