About

Hierarchy Decorator is an extension for Unity 2018.4 and higher that extends Unity's hierarchy and takes it to the next level. With headers, component information and other features, it transforms the window into more than a plain list of objects. This can turn scene structures easier to read, understand and provide information on what is going on.

Everything is optional, and can be modified to the requirements of the project.

The Style tab controls the design of the headers and seperators for the hierarchy. Colours are individual for light and dark mode providing accessibility. The prefix is the string to specify at the start of an instance name to apply the style.

Layers and icons can be specifically disables on styles instances to remove clutter and information that is not required.

Icons

Icons can be displayed that represent components that exist on gameobjects. This tab will provide the flexibility to specify what components can and cannot be displayed, and also allow you to automatically show all.

Enable Icons: Will toggle the icons on.
Stack Mono Behaviours - If there are any MonoBehaviour derived components, show only one script icon on the instance.
Show Missing Script Warning - Show an indicator if there's an invalid script or "missing" script that cannot find the source file.

</details> <details> <summary>Icon Panel</summary>

Show All

Below show all are two labels - Unity & Custom. Both of these can be enabled to automatically show the respective components automatically on all instances. Unity components refer to built in types, while custom are custom MonoBehaviour's outside of Unity's code base.

Groups

Unity components have been categorized into related groups to make it easier to filter through all of them that exist. The search can be used to extend this further.

Any component toggled on in Excluded will disable them completely even if show all Unity components is enabled. This is primarily to make it easier to remove types not required when Show All is on.

Custom

Custom components are for scripts created in the project, that are not a part of Unity's engine. Here scripts can be grouped together and enabled if Show All for custom components is not on.

Scripts can also be dragged in from the project view and will be added to the group highlighted for easy organisation.
