Borders on control nodes

Gamero

I am trying to add a border to a control node, to show which one is currently selected. Im using a StyleBoxFlat. It works on buttons, but I cant get it to work on any other control node that I have tried.
Why is that? What am I missing?
I understand that it does not work on containers, because those are not supposed to be visible.

Gamero other control node

What other types of control nodes do you want to highlight?

There is custom theming/styling, but I don't know if you can use all the features of CSS.

Gamero Embed your control inside another control that allows to have a border.

Not sure what would be the most appropriate node. Im doing a drag and drop item that will need an icon, text and some numbers inside it. Maybe a TextureRect, ColorRect, or Panel.

I used a StyleBoxFlat

styleBoxFlat.BorderColor = new Color(1,1,0,1);
styleBoxFlat.SetBorderWidthAll(10);
testNode.AddThemeStyleboxOverride("normal", styleBoxFlat);

As I said, this works on Buttons, but not on the other nodes I tried. Im curious why that is.

Because TextureRect, ColorRect and Panel don't have a theme property called "normal". The panel node has a theme property called "panel". Maybe that will work for you.
