Why Gizmos.DrawIcon can not tint color.

Unity Engine
1

I am draw a icon in OnDrawGizmos function like this:

Gizmos.color = this.Color;
Gizmos.DrawIcon(transform.position, "My Gizmo");

But the color has no effect, how can I draw an icon gizmo just like Light component, can tint the icon color with light color?

2

I still can not find a proper way to draw a icon, and it can controlled in editor

3

Is there any one know this, to draw a gizmo with tint color.

4

I find this but it still not working. Draw a quad is not control by the gizmo control tool in SceneView, which control whether to show specify type of gizmo, and the 3D icon size.

5

The Gizmos.DrawIcon() only receive a file name, I even can not dynamic create a Texture2D and tint the texture by code.
I hope the Unity can give me more API, I can implement the Gizmos just like the buildint Light component, to tint the gizmos color.

6

So there still no any solution for draw an icon gizmo with tint color?

7

Still no solution. I guess this is only rarely needed…

8

But the unity use tint color icon for light gizmo. So I think there must be an API somewhere…

9

same problem, but there seems no answer

There is a Gizmos.DrawIcon() method where you can pass a tint color. Works in 2021.1.19 but it isn’t mentioned in the documentation…
