Background color to GUI 3D panel controls

Questions
1

Hi,
I’m looking for a way to create a background color to 3D panel in the GUI.

Is there a way?

2

What panel are you referring to? Want to show us what you tried so far so we can have some context?

3

Regular panel, let’s say the one in the Babylon’s examples:

I want to add to the CylinderPanel some background color or any sort of material

I assume you mean the background for the entire panel and not for the button, right? The panel is just a structure that organizes your data, it is not a mesh that can have a material.
we don’t support changing the panel’s background, mainly because it is just a transform node.

5

Any Ideas how it can be done for the entire panel?
Maybe something similar to adding rectangle control in 2D GUI but I couldn’t find a similar control for the 3D.

You will need to create a mesh in the same manner and set its background. Our panels roughly follow the MRTK specs (for example - Object collection - MRTK 2 | Microsoft Docs), and this is why we don’t add a mesh in the background. Generating the mesh should be straightforward, especially since you have the way the positions of the buttons are calculated
