2. Right-click to open the context menu.
3. Select the option to “Hide Header Texts”

 

In the same context menu, the palette can be further customized by selecting the Info Box… option.

The outcome

By hiding header texts and customizing panel visibility in the Info Box, you can reduce clutter and keep tool options accessible, resulting in a more open and efficient workspace.
