I’m a begginer is Unity but I encountered these weird colored dots that appeared out of nowhere(I might have selected an option by mistake)
They appear on ever menu’s icon in the tabs.
can someone please help me to resolve this?
Hi. Hopefully you’ve solved the issue by now, but in case someone else gets this, you need to delete your EditorPrefs. See here for their location: Unity - Scripting API: EditorPrefs
This page has an example of a script that does it from inside the Editor: Unity - Scripting API: EditorPrefs.DeleteAll
Obviously, unfortunately you’ll need to reconfigure your preferences in the Editor after this.
The colored dots or circles are an internal diagnostic tool for the GUI repainting. It’s pretty strange that they showed up in your Editor.
And to fellow new Unity devs that didn’t dare ask their colleague what this was before a Google search, welcome aboard 
can also toggle it (on) and off, by opening About-window and typing “internal”
Well looks like the cat is out of the bag on that one. I didn’t want to be the one to “reveal” it in public.
But also, it’s right there on Github (UnityCsReference/Editor/Mono/GUI/AboutWindow.cs at master · Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference · GitHub) so it’s not much of a secret!
