  2. Set the display mode:
    • Text - Requires reference to a text objcet.
    • Sprite - Requires reference to layer preview sprites parent. (The parent game object sprites will be instantiated to)
    • Text And Sprite - Requires both aforementioned references.
  3. Add the Toggle component and reference it in the HistoryPanelEntry component.
  4. Add an Image component - This will be the background image.
  5. Set the Target Graphic on the toggle to the image component.
  6. Add a new child game object and add another Image component to it.
  7. Name the new child game object something like Highlight. - This game object will only be active when the entry is selected.
  8. Set the Graphic on the toggle to the image component on the Highlight game object.
  9. Turn your game object into a prefab by dragging it into a folder in the project window.
  10. Finally, on the CCMHistoryPanel component which lives on all History Panels, set the Entry Prefab to reference your new prefab.
