Editor Color Display Field

UI
1

Hi all,

In need of a way to display a color without the color picker field, as it is simply for display purposes only and the developer won’t be editing the color,

Is there a way to alter the EditorGUILayout.ColorField so that is read only, or does anybody know of another way around this.

Thanks

I would create a CustomPropertyDrawer and PropertyAttribute for your field, then, in the drawer, draw a white box tinted with the properties colorValue:

e.g:

class MyClass : MonoBehaviour {

    [ReadonlyColor]
    public Color myColor;
}

class ReadonlyColorAttribute : PropertyAttribute {
}

[CustomPropertyDrawer(typeof(ReadonlyColorAttribute))]
class ReadonlyColorDrawer : PropertyDrawer {

    public override OnGUI(Rect position, SerializedProperty property, GUIContent label) {
   
        if (property.propertyType == SerializedPropertyType.Color) {
           
            Color guiColor = GUI.color;
           
            GUI.color = property.colorValue;           
            GUI.DrawTexture(position, EditorGUIUtility.whiteTexture);
            GUI.color = guiColor;
        }
        else {
       
            EditorGUI.PropertyField(position, property, label);
        }
    }
}

That code is untested, might be errors.
