# CUSTOM COMPONENT NAMES

<mark style="color:orange;">**Create Component Names**</mark> makes your Unity Inspector easier to read by allowing custom display names and colors for component headers and object references. It’s perfect for complex GameObjects, modular systems, and designer-friendly workflows.

#### [Available on the Asset Store](https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/must-have-tools/353228?aid=1100lxWw\&pubref=p72)!

## Quick Start

After importing the package, visit any Inspector and you'll find a new icon in the header row. Click it, and you can name your component and optionally apply colors. Select a preset if you'd prefer.

**That's it!**

Now when you drag these components into object fields, they'll also display their custom name!

### Turn Off Object Field Treatment

If you'd like to turn off the object field treatment, you can toggle this via the menu option `Tools/Magic Pig Games/Custom Component Names/Show Custom Names In Object Fields`.

## Managing Presets

{% hint style="success" %}
Any change to the preset colors in this view will affect all Components that are using the same preset, making it easy to update everything at once!
{% endhint %}

Find the `ComponentHeaderColorPresets` object in the scene. The custom Inspector will show you all the presets, along with a preview of them. Some will look better with the "Dark Skin", others the "Light Skin". You can delete or reorder the presets here as well.
