Ehh, this isn’t a very good tutorial for this. It doesn’t have any actual properties or anything past the text box border selected, and it has no end result GIF of any sort.

There isn’t much depth to that tutorial, I am relatively confused as to what this is attempting to convey.
TextBox is not a replacement for TextLabel. TextBox is for typing, and TextLabel is for the display of text.
If what is trying to be accomplished here is getting rid of the button coloring, there’s AutoButtonColor.
Then again, I’m still really confused.

I’m quite confused by this tutorial as well. I expected there to be some coding involved and at least some higher-level skills that the average user would not have.
@WentLimited Why is this a tutorial? Everything you went over is easy and doesn’t require any coding skills.
The purpose of the tutorial section is to explain to a user how to do a specific task. If you include code you should be expected to explain it. I’m not saying everyone knows how to do what you wrote let alone code, but if you explain it enough people should begin to understand it. Your original post does not provide much of an explanation even with how simple the task at hand is.
As others have mentioned, this doesn’t seem like that expansive of a tutorial, and would be more appropriate to accomplish through scripts than hacking together. Have you considered creating a module for creating different mouseover/click effects that can be easily added to buttons and releasing that?
Why make it so complicated for no reason?
It’s as complicated as you’d make it. If your intended audience is non-scripters, then provide BoolValue settings/etc rather than opening a script. Why use a script instead of what was done in the OP? The behavior in the OP is a hack and is not guaranteed to continue working (e.g. if ROBLOX changes it so hover doesn’t pass through buttons, the outer edge would turn back to default when you moused over the inner element).
I thought I would be able to make a mouse over gui effect after this tutorial, now I’m more confused as I was in the beginning.

I think one key factor you forgot to mention was that the TextButton beneath would change colour if this property was set to true:
Please correct me if I am wrong.

So… where’s the tutorial?

Just a heads up: If you intend to place Parts in the box where it say “Sled 3D module goes here”, then you’re going to have a hard time doing so because GUI always renders on top of parts (unless, of course, you’re using SurfaceGui.)
Yeah, I am having difficulties. Do you know of any way to put it on top of the GUI’s? I’v seen games that have done it.
This should be in #development-discussion:cool-creations rather than #tutorials:tutorials because this isn’t really a tutorial.

The way that those games achieve it is by placing a SurfaceGui that is “attached” to the camera, and then drawing the part in front of it (closer to the camera) so that it appears on top.
You can also just make that part of the gui transparent so that you can see the part.

I can’t make the part transparent due to me having a background image followed by that one frame instance ontop of the background 
Just a few tips about the tutorial section.
-
They shouldn’t be really long, but they shouldn’t be super short either. Trying to convey a simple idea which is super hard to do is great. This probably belongs in development discussions as kind of a “PRO TIP” type of thing.

Go more in-depth about what it is you’re doing, and why it’s awesome if it’s not immediately obvious. I can’t see what’s awesome here, and I’m a little confused as to what the tutorial does.
I think a pretty neat idea for a tutorial would be like 5-6 cool UI tricks such as how to create shadow on your text which isn’t very hard to do, but a lot of people don’t do it simply because they haven’t thought of how to do it.
Um… I don’t think this deserves a tutorial. This effect is extremely simple, and if you don’t mind me saying it isn’t very appealing. A fade effect or a button shrink/grow would seem more appealing to me
