About this asset

👋 Say Goodbye to Generic Blue Cubes!

Are you tired of searching through dozens of identical default Prefab icons just to find one specific button or popup?

UI Thumbnails creates a visual workflow for your User Interface assets. It automatically generates high-quality preview images for your UI Prefabs directly in the Project View, allowing you to identify your assets at a single glance.

✨ Key Features

  • 👁️ Instant Visual Identification See exactly what your UI looks like without opening the Prefab or adding it to the scene. Distinguish between different button styles, panels, and icons instantly.
  • ⚡ Fully Automatic Just work as usual. When you create, save, or modify a UI Prefab, the icon is updated automatically in the background. No manual clicks required.
  • ✨ Particle System Support UI Thumbnails simulates particle systems before capturing, ensuring your VFX, sparkles, and glowing UI elements are fully visible.
  • 🛡️ Zero Project Clutter (VCS Friendly) We know how important a clean project is.
    • Thumbnails are stored in Unity’s local Library cache.
    • No extra image files are added to your Assets folder.
    • No conflict with Git, SVN, or PlasticSCM.
    • Each team member generates their own local cache automatically.
  • 🚀 Optimized Performance Generation happens during Editor idle times to ensure your workflow remains smooth and uninterrupted.

Technical details

Technical Requirements

  • Root RectTransform Required: To be identified as a UI element, your Prefab must have a RectTransform component on its Root object. Prefabs with a standard Transform at the root (even if they have UI children) are ignored to preserve your 3D asset icons.
