Overlays are persistent and customizable panels and toolbars that are available within Editor Windows. Use Overlays to expose actions and tool options in a convenient and user-controllable way.
This is the base class from which all Overlays inherit. To create an Overlay, return a UnityEngine.UIElements.VisualElement.
using UnityEditor; using UnityEditor.Overlays; using UnityEngine.UIElements; [Overlay(typeof(SceneView), "Selection Count")] class SelectionCount : Overlay { Label m_Label; public override VisualElement CreatePanelContent() { Selection.selectionChanged += () => { if (m_Label != null) m_Label.text = $"Selection Count {Selection.count}"; }; return m_Label = new Label($"Selection Count {Selection.count}"); } }
To create an Overlay that is dockable in a toolbar, see ToolbarOverlay.
