Problem with changing colour on a text button

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

I have created a UI text gameobject and added a button component to it. Although the button works fine I cannot get it to change colour when it is clicked/hovered over.

It is fine if I just add a normal button UI element, but I am trying to attached a component of a button to an already existing text UI. What am I doing wrong & what can I do to solve it?

Your default text is black. What the transition does is, it applies tint. Tint does not work on black. Try making your text color white and you’ll see the transition
