# Default Texture node
[!include[](include_note_uitk.md)]
Provides the texture assigned to the UI element.
You can use this node to access the texture assigned to a UI element, such as a Texture 2D background image. The node includes UV and tint inputs that allow you to modify how the texture is applied. For example, you can connect a **Tiling and Offset** node to the UV input to create a repeating effect for the background image, or connect a **Color** node to the tint input to adjust the tint color of the background image.
## Ports

| Tint | Input | Color | The tint color to apply to the texture. |
| Texture | Output | Texture | The resulting texture. |
