Showcase

To see the compact drawer in action, simple Vector4 serialized field exposing script was created:

public class Vector4Exposer : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private Vector4 serializedVector;
}

When you select a GameObject with this component, the Vector4 field will be displayed in a compact layout in the Unity Inspector.

Working With Prefabs

The drawer fully supports prefab instances and variants, ensuring changes are tracked and displayed correctly.

Inspector Modes

The drawer automatically adjusts based on the inspector's width (EditorGUIUtility.wideMode), ensuring a consistent user experience across different layouts:

• Wide Mode: The drawer displays the Vector4 field in a single-line layout:

• Compact Mode: The field is split across two lines to maintain readability while conserving space:
