Custom Component Names lets you rename and color-code Unity component headers and component object references without modifying scripts, bringing clarity, context, and organization to even the most complex GameObjects.

About This Tool

Whether you’re building modular systems, authoring reusable behaviors, or collaborating in teams, long stacks of similar components can become visually noisy and hard to parse.

Custom Component Names changes that:

• Assign clear, meaningful display names to any component right in the Inspector
• Color-code headers for faster visual scanning
• Display custom names in object reference fields
• Preserve names per-scene/prefab without touching source code

It works with any component type — built-in or custom.
