## What it is
A Unity editor library that lets developers extend the Unity Toolbar with custom Editor UI code such as buttons, sliders, and toggles. It works by using reflection to access Unity's internal editor code and hooks GUI callbacks into the left and right sides of the toolbar.

## Use cases
- add custom buttons to the Unity toolbar
- quickly switch between scenes from the toolbar
- add sliders or toggles to the Unity editor toolbar
- build custom editor shortcuts in Unity
- extend Unity's play button area with custom GUI

## When to choose
- you want custom toolbar UI in the Unity editor without writing reflection hacks yourself
- you need quick-access buttons for scene switching or editor commands
- you're on Unity 2021.2 or earlier-compatible versions and want a proven MIT-licensed solution

## When to avoid
- you're on a very new Unity version where the reflection-based internals may have broken
- you need officially supported, non-hacky editor extension APIs
- you're not working in the Unity engine

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, developer-tools, plugin-system
- domain: developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform, editor-plugin
- tags: unity, unity-editor, toolbar, editor-extensions, reflection, game-dev-tools, game-development
