ParagonEntertainmentBanner

Displays a branded "Paragon Entertainment" banner centered in the Unity Editor's status bar. The banner is toggled via an editor preference and uses reflection-based OnGUI injection into Unity's internal AppStatusBar.

Definition

Namespace: Paragon.Editor Assembly: Paragon.Editor.dll

[InitializeOnLoad]
internal static class ParagonEntertainmentBanner

Attributes: [InitializeOnLoad] — initializes via static constructor on editor load.

Remarks

This class hooks into Unity's internal AppStatusBar window to draw a gold-colored "Paragon Entertainment" label. It uses OnGUIInjector from the LowLevel subsystem to inject a custom OnGUI callback into the status bar's draw loop.

Initialization Flow

1. Static constructor runs on editor load ([InitializeOnLoad])

2. Reflection finds UnityEditor.AppStatusBar type and its Repaint method

3. EditorApplication.delayCall schedules OnEditorUpdate (status bar may not exist yet)

4. OnEditorUpdate finds the status bar instance via Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll

5. OnGUIInjector.Inject hooks the OnGUI callback into the status bar

Toggle Mechanism

The Enabled property is backed by the [EditorPreference] attribute (from ParagonSettings), persisting the toggle across editor sessions. Setting Enabled triggers a repaint of the status bar.

Methods

OnEditorUpdate (private)

Finds the AppStatusBar instance and injects the OnGUI callback. Called once via EditorApplication.delayCall.

OnGUI (private)

Draws the banner label centered in the status bar area. Only draws if enabled is true.

Repaint (private)

Invokes AppStatusBar.Repaint() via reflection to refresh the status bar.

Common Pitfalls

Relies on Unity internals The class accesses UnityEditor.AppStatusBar via reflection. This is an internal Unity type that may change between Unity versions. If the type or method signature changes, the banner will fail silently.

Internal class — not extensible ParagonEntertainmentBanner is internal static and cannot be subclassed or accessed from outside the Paragon.Editor assembly.
