Lets first look at UI for AfterClickLabel. If you go under ExamineManager-UI you will see an object named ItemPrompt-UIHolder

• ItemPrompt-UIHolder → It holds the content like Background and Prompt(Text).

• Background → This is the object that acts as Background behind Prompt(Text).

It is just an Image so customize it however you want.
