Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Actually the icons in world have some sort of glow.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to control weather an icon is glowing or not.

Actually I found out the used shader for the images is UI/Default. This explains why icons on the sign look as they do.

  1. The default shader does not respect any light from the 3D scene.
  2. I guess the glow effect comes from the bloom effect, which is post processing so effects everything.

Here's a list with shaders

Maybe it makes sense to create a custom mesh for this, which takes two materials, one for the wood and one for the sign. This would have the following advantages:

This needs investigation of which is the standard material and how to apply it at runtime. Shouldn't be too difficult with the in game editor.
