    Default Tool Palette customizing, custom tools, and the image

    I created a custom tool palette, then I copied a Line command tool from another palette. I modified the Line tool to set the current layer to 0. I'm still stuck with the image that came with the Line tool. I know I can change it, but how do I get rid of it and have no image?

    Are you talking about the icon on the tool palette? If you don't have it there, how are you going to know a tool is there?

    AFAIK, you cannot. You can right click on the palette, and make the image smaller, or show just the images, but I don't think you can get rid of the images.

    You can right click on the icon and select "Specify Image...". Just replace it with a clear png.

    This is the work-around I ended up using. Maybe a wish-list item?

    I can't really see the benefit of taking images away from an image driven tool...

    None, really. Removing the icon doesn't enhance productivity. To me, the icon is more of an annoyance for that particular tool.

    On my setup, I not only show the icon, but also name of the tool; it's not only image-driven (as shown in the image posted above). The only other tools I have on this particular palette (for now) are of blocks and with those their icons are helpful.
