About this asset
Beautiful Tabs is a premium editor extension that completely modernizes the Unity Editor's window docking system by introducing a beautiful, browser-like tabbing experience. It elevates your daily workflow by seamlessly integrating a native '+' button directly into Unity's DockArea, allowing you to instantly spawn new windows without navigating messy drop-down menus.
Boost your productivity with fluid tab dragging and standard browser keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl + T to open, Ctrl + W to close) for lightning-fast workspace management. When adding a new tab, you are greeted with a visually clean, smart Search Window that intelligently categorizes all available editor tools, from the Inspector to third-party assets, into logical groups. Designed for maximum performance, it integrates flawlessly into the editor's layout system with absolutely zero runtime overhead.
From the publisher's Asset Store listing.
