Collapsible Headers
The standard [Header] attribute is great for grouping variables, but as your scripts grow, the Inspector quickly becomes a mess. When you have dozens of properties, simple text labels don't stop the scrolling fatigue.
Usually, the fix is a heavy third-party plugin or writing a custom Editor from scratch. Collapsible Headers is a lightweight alternative. It globally overrides how Unity renders the [Header] attribute, turning them into interactive foldouts that group the variables beneath them.
The expanded state of every header is saved per-component, so your Inspector stays exactly how you left it. It includes a simple settings menu to tweak styles (colors, fonts) and an "Ignore Types" list to skip specific components where you prefer the default look.
Features
- Editor-only. Zero runtime cost.
- Automatic Foldouts: Instantly turns standard Unity [Header] attributes into interactive, collapsible sections.
- Persistent States: Remembers the expanded/collapsed state of every header on a per-component basis.
- Highly Customizable: Easily tweak header text color, font style, and font size to fit your workflow.
- Zero Code Changes: Requires absolutely no custom attributes or changes to your existing scripts.
- Settings Menu: Easy-to-use configuration window with full Undo/Redo support.
- Global Toggle: Easily enable or disable the entire collapsible headers system at the click of a button.
- Ignore Types List: Safely render standard headers normally for selected component types (perfect for third-party asset compatibility).
- Widely Compatible: Works from Unity 2019.4 to Unity 6+.
- Minimal Footprint: Designed to stay completely out of your way and feel like a native Unity feature.
