Cannot change normal.background of EditorGUILayout.TextField

Hi everyone,

I ran into a problem I cannot figure out.

I’m trying to stylize text input for Editor script and make custom background color.
It works well with “active” and “hover” states, but for “normal” and “focused” background remains gray.

GUIStyle customTextInputStyle = new GUIStyle(EditorStyles.textField);
customTextInputStyle.active.background = MakeText(2, 2, Color.green);	// Background changes
customTextInputStyle.normal.background = MakeText(2, 2, Color.green);	// Background doesn't change
customTextInputStyle.focused.background = MakeText(2, 2, Color.green);	// Background doesn't change

public Texture2D MakeText(int width, int height, Color col)
{
	Color[] pix = new Color[width * height];
	for (int i = 0; i < pix.Length; ++i)
		pix[i] = col;
	Texture2D result = new Texture2D(width, height, TextureFormat.RGBA32, false);
	result.SetPixels(pix);
	result.Apply();
	return result;
}

I have an assumption on this.
There is probably blending going on in normal and focused states.

It’s like when you give a vertical block (BeginVertical/EndVertical) style it’s never exactly the same color as you set because it is blended with other elements behind it.
