Hierarchy Colorizer

Hierarchy Colorizer brings visual structure to your Unity Hierarchy window. Assign background colors, text styles, and alignment to GameObjects using flexible rules - or override any row manually with a single click. Match by name pattern, tag, or layer and instantly see which objects are managers, controllers, UI elements, cameras, and more. Rule-Based Coloring Define rules that match GameObjects by name (contains, exact, starts with, ends with), tag, or layer. The first matching rule wins - drag to reorder. Each rule controls background color, text color, bold/italic style, and text alignment. Per-Object Color Override Hover over any row to reveal a button. Click it to assign a manual background color directly to that GameObject - overrides all rules and label colors. Hover again to reveal an × to remove the override. Per-object colors are saved to the settings asset and shared with your team via version control. Section Dividers Set any rule's alignment to Center to render matching rows as full-width section headers with accent lines. Use naming conventions like --- Gameplay --- or == UI == to structure large scenes visually. Hover Active Toggle When enabled, hovering over any Hierarchy row reveals a checkbox to toggle the GameObject's active state instantly - no Inspector needed. Fully undoable with Ctrl+Z. Color Inheritance Enable Apply Colors to Children and unmatched child GameObjects automatically inherit their nearest matched ancestor's color - whether it comes from a rule or a manual override - slightly darkened to distinguish inherited from directly assigned rows. Unity Label & Icon Sync Rows are automatically colored when you assign Unity's built-in colored label icons. Custom icons set via Other... replace the default box icon on the row. Component Icons Up to 4 component icons are displayed on the right side of each Hierarchy row - no more opening the Inspector just to check what's attached. Zero Runtime Impact 100% editor-only. No scripts, no components, and no code are included in your build.
