Here’s yet another action she had no idea you could use until someone showed it to her. By having just the Icon view open, you can save a lot of space within the Toolbox.

For each Toolbox grouping, you can customize whether to show the flat list of controls and their names or just show their icons. Right-click anywhere in the desired group, and toggle off List View.

Here’s the Icon view that appears instead of the List View.

Happy Programming! =)
