Getting rid of scale labels in scale legends?

Hello everybody,

Is there a way to stop the scale labels being displayed in the scale
legend palette? Sure, I can reduce its size to almost nothing, but I
would rather supress it altogether and, preferably, would make this
default, since I am not using scale labels much.

Also - is there way to reduce size of the decorations of Labview-6 style
graph palettes. They may be aestetically pleasing but I could use panel
space for something more functional.

Hi Yury,
1. the best result I obtained is customizing Plot Legend, changing the scale label control with the old style (to avoid 3D effects after minimizing the size).Also, is good to set all scale label related colors to transparent. Save this control and that's it.

2. regarding LV6-Style decorations, I make them transparent or use Classic Controls (LV5-style).

Hope this helps.

You should be able to popup on any part of the scale, go to the advanced
pull-right, and hide the control. It is a bit difficult finding the
spot to popup to show the control again, so UNDO is a good thing to keep
in mind, as is a backup.

As noted, you can color them transparent and place them over an
y
decorations that you like, or you can customize them in the control editor.
