This module is part of the Unity Essentials ecosystem and follows the same lightweight, editor-first approach. Unity Essentials is a lightweight, modular set of editor utilities and helpers that streamline Unity development. It focuses on clean, dependency-free tools that work well together.

All utilities are under the UnityEssentials namespace.

using UnityEssentials;

Install the Unity Essentials entry package via Unity's Package Manager, then install modules from the Tools menu.

• Add the entry package (via Git URL)

  • Window → Package Manager
  • "+" → "Add package from git URL…"
  • Paste: https://github.com/EggyStudio/UnityEssentials.git

• Install or update Unity Essentials packages

  • Tools → Install & Update UnityEssentials
  • Install all or select individual modules; run again anytime to update

Quick overview: Add color‑coded notes to your GameObjects right in the Inspector. Edit a header, content, and footer with word‑wrapped text, and pick from five preset color themes.

A lightweight MonoBehaviour + custom Inspector that lets you attach sticky notes to any GameObject. Great for leaving hints for teammates, TODOs, setup checklists, or contextual documentation that travels with the scene/prefab.

• Three text areas: Header, Content, Footer (word‑wrapped)
• Five color themes: Yellow, Green, Blue, Pink, Purple
• Inspector preview with themed background and matching text color
• Quick color actions via the component’s context menu (… menu on the component header)
• Simple, dependency‑free; serialized with your scene/prefab
• Editor‑only visuals; no runtime UI or rendering

• Unity Editor 6000.0+ (Editor‑only visuals; component lives in Runtime for convenience)
• No external dependencies

Tip: Use notes to guide level assembly, document workaround steps, or track TODO items directly on objects.

Add and edit

1. Select a GameObject
2. Add Component → “Sticky Note” (namespace UnityEssentials)
3. Fill in Header, Content, and Footer text
4. Choose a color in the Color dropdown, or use quick actions:
   • Open the component context menu (… on the component header) and pick Yellow/Green/Blue/Pink/Purple

Programmatic access

using UnityEssentials;
using UnityEngine;

public class AddNote : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        var note = gameObject.AddComponent<StickyNote>();
        note.Color = StickyNote.NoteColor.Blue;
        note.Header = "Spawner";
        note.Content = "Adjust rate before shipping";
        note.Footer = "Owned by Gameplay";
    }
}

• StickyNote holds serialized fields for color, header, content, and footer
• A custom inspector draws a rounded, colored background panel using a generated texture
• Text styles are themed per color (larger header font, smaller content/footer)
• Changing the color re‑creates styles to match the theme
• Context menu entries use [ContextMenu] to set the color and mark the object dirty

• Editor‑only rendering: the panel is an Inspector visualization, not a scene/game UI element
• No rich text or Markdown; fields are plain text (word‑wrapped)
• Very long content increases inspector height; collapse component to save space
• Color themes are fixed to presets; customize by editing the editor script
• Standard multi‑object editing rules apply

• Runtime/StickyNote.cs – Component (color, header, content, footer + context menu setters)
• Editor/StickyNoteEditor.cs – Custom inspector (themed background and text styles)
• Runtime/UnityEssentials.StickyNote.asmdef – Runtime assembly definition
• Editor/UnityEssentials.StickyNote.Editor.asmdef – Editor assembly definition
