Use GUI.Button() instead of GUI.DrawTexture. There are many different forms of t$$anonymous$$s function. The second one is probably the one you want.

  if ( GUI.Button(new Rect(Screen.width / 2 - (theWidth / 2), Screen.height - 50, theWidth, theHeight), background)) {
     // Do somet$$anonymous$$ng when button is pressed.
 }

Thank you :D, how can I remove the "border" of the button, so that it look's like the DrawTexture? :-)

That's a bit more complicated. I'm not at my desktop, so I may not have this exactly right.

 public Texture2D background;
 int theHeight = 50;
 int theWidth = 200;
  

 void OnGUI() {
      Rect rect = new Rect(Screen.width / 2 - (theWidth / 2), Screen.height - 50, theWidth, theHeight);
      GUI.DrawTexture(rect,  background);
      Event e = Event.current;
      if (e.type == EventType.MouseUp) {
          if (rect.contains(e.mousePosition) {
             // Do your mouse stuff
         }
      }
 }

The action occurs on MouseUp, but you could use MouseDown.

Isn't an easier option to just change the style of the button?

@Unitraxx - possibly. I always reach for code. @AndreasX12 as @Unitraxx points out you can change your button style instead of the code posted above. Here is a link:

Thank you all for the answers, I figured it out now, using the Custom gui style :-)
