Iconize the header and add detailed features
The text menu in the header is converted into an icon, making it a compact UI that does not interfere with work or vision. Add some more detailed menus.
Useful when you want to operate on a narrow screen such as a notebook PC or split screen display, or for people who are used to Blender and want to operate with a minimal UI.

Function
Header Color Change
Change the color of the header in a specific state to reduce misoperation.
Like a 3ds Max that can check the effective state of automatic keyframe insertion.
- When automatic key frame mode is enabled: “Red”
- When Dyntopo is enabled …… “Yellow”
- Mesh editing …… “Green”
- When editing shape key …… “Blue”
- Internally, the color changes when editing a shape key other than the top shape key.
- If the topmost shape key is in a non-base mesh order, it will not function properly.
- Explanation for each editor
Top Bar
- Recently opened file list, latest automatic backup icon
- Auto keyframe mode icon
- Display current frame
- Display object name
- Compact collection
The compact collection menu allows simple collection operations and eliminates the need for an outliner screen during work.
You can switch the collection display and change the active status.
In addition, the standard menu is stored in the small button.

Reason for creating this Addon
Blender is my most favorite 3DCG tool, but I felt that the little things were missing.
As in 3ds Max, make the frame red in auto key mode to make the current status clear,
Check or change current frame in full screen,
Recently opened file list, latest automatic backup, etc…
The most inconvenient point is that you can not always check or change the name of the selected object like Maya.
We created an add-on that allows you to quickly check such detailed status.
