Like with a custom inspector for components, and here we have to use the old GUI system. There is just one difference between building inspector and window. In inspector, we were using OnInspectorGUI() method and we could use DrawDefaultInspector() to draw component’s properties. In the window, we don’t have such luxury, but we have OnGUI() which works in the same way.
