I used this code working properly but working only on gameobject selection , while i want it stable so that i can find my important gameobject at a glance.

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; using UnityEditor; [InitializeOnLoad] public class MyHierarchyPanel { static MyHierarchyPanel () { EditorApplication.hierarchyWindowItemOnGUI += hierarchWindowOnGUI;

 }
 static void hierarchWindowOnGUI (int instanceID, Rect selectionRect)
 {
     //change bg and font color
     GUI.backgroundColor = Color.black;
     GUI.contentColor =Color.white;

     // get objects
     Object o = EditorUtility.InstanceIDToObject(instanceID);
     GameObject g = (GameObject)o as GameObject;
 }

}

This, while not perfect either, will allow you to highlight whatever you want.

Source: https://unity3d.college/2017/09/04/customizing-hierarchy-bold-prefab-text/

Note that there is also a link to a youtube video in the link.

Eg taken from the link to highlight prefabs:

 using System.Linq;
 using UnityEditor;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 [InitializeOnLoad]
 public class CustomHierarchy : MonoBehaviour
 {
     private static Vector2 offset = new Vector2(0, 2);
 
     static CustomHierarchy()
     {
         EditorApplication.hierarchyWindowItemOnGUI += HandleHierarchyWindowItemOnGUI;
     }
 
     private static void HandleHierarchyWindowItemOnGUI(int instanceID, Rect selectionRect)
     {
         Color fontColor = Color.blue;
         Color backgroundColor = new Color(.76f, .76f, .76f);
 
         var obj = EditorUtility.InstanceIDToObject(instanceID);
         if (obj != null)
         {
             var prefabType = PrefabUtility.GetPrefabType(obj);
             if (prefabType == PrefabType.PrefabInstance)
             {
                 if (Selection.instanceIDs.Contains(instanceID))
                 {
                     fontColor = Color.white;
                     backgroundColor = new Color(0.24f, 0.48f, 0.90f);
                 }
 
                 Rect offsetRect = new Rect(selectionRect.position + offset, selectionRect.size);
                 EditorGUI.DrawRect(selectionRect, backgroundColor);
                 EditorGUI.LabelField(offsetRect, obj.name, new GUIStyle()
                 {
                     normal = new GUIStyleState() { textColor = fontColor },
                     fontStyle = FontStyle.Bold
                 }
                 );
             }
         }
     }
 }
