i made an inventory system and it works… now I’m trying to modify the Ui, so I made the slots orange-ish but since it’s a slot, and it had to store stuff, there is an image in it, the problem is, the empty image is a blank square and I want to make it transparent. i tried everything but it only made the image that was supposed to be shown eighter with an orange tint or it was transparent.

Many ways.

Set the image’s Visiblity to _Hidden_, when an item is added and the correct image is hooked up, set to it Visible.
