Overcoat for Blender

Magnifying menus, tabs and toolbars for Blender.

Overcoat brings a shared visual style to the controls you use throughout Blender. Menus, sidebar tabs and editor rails magnify under your cursor, with coordinated colors, readable icons and theme presets.

Keep your tools within reach

Use the Dock to navigate sidebar categories, browse Add and context menus, and reach controls for Properties, modifiers, shape keys, animation and the Sequencer. Enable the components that suit your workflow.

Make each workspace recognizable

Choose from 135 bundled theme presets. Give workspaces their own appearance, or match Overcoat to your active Blender theme. Workspace tabs can use a topbar strip or a viewport overlay.

Bring an editor to where you are working

Summon temporarily switches an editor to another editor type and provides a way back. History places Undo, Redo and Undo History controls in editor headers. Search and Diagnostics provide access to commands, settings and suite controls.

One extension, 19 feature modules

The extension includes 19 feature modules, 135 theme presets and 788 vector icons derived from Blender's icon artwork. Install the extension once and configure its components in Overcoat preferences.

Release and compatibility

Current candidate: 1.1.0-rc.2. This is prerelease software.

Requires Blender 5.1 or newer. Windows validation covers Blender 5.1.2, 5.2.2 LTS and a pinned 5.3 beta. The 5.3 result is a beta test, not a claim of support for every future 5.3 build. macOS and Linux have not been verified.

Moving from Prism Suite

Prism Suite is now Overcoat for Blender. Blender treats Overcoat as a separate extension, so settings do not transfer automatically. Follow the included migration guide; do not enable Prism and Overcoat together.

Download and setup

Download the Overcoat tester kit and extract it. Read README.md, then install Overcoat_Extension_1.1.0-rc.2.zip using Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install from Disk. Existing Prism users should read MIGRATION_FROM_PRISM.md first.
