Please remove "Text Mesh Pro UGUI" icon from Scene View

Could you please remove rendering of the Text Mesh Pro UGUI “T” icon, which appears in the Scene View? It makes designing and reading the UI in the Scene View more difficult. The regular UI Text doesn’t have an icon in the Scene View.

While working on UI, I’m not that much interested in these “T” icons and basically just fighting with them.

Turning off the “Text Mesh Pro UGUI” Gizmo does not affect rendering of that “T” icon. I’m aware that I can turn off all icons using setting the “3D Icons” slider all the way to the left, but I’m only interested to hide the TMP icon.

Disabling the “TextMeshProUGUI” entry in the Gizmos dropdown only affects the Inspector. It causes all TextMeshProUGUI Components to be collapsed in the Inspector, which is even worse, because I need to change Component values.

If you could remove the “T” icon rendering from the Scene View, that would make working on UI nicer.

Why you don’t like my icons :wink:

All joking aside, it is a love / hate relationship with these.

Fortunately, you can disable them by clicking on the icons themselves as seen in the image below.

That’s is embarrassing :slight_smile: Glad it was that simple, thanks! I’m going to watch Unity Learning Tutorial #001 now…

We have all been there … the real question is how long have you tolerated these cluttering your SceneView?

Way too long! :sweat_smile:
