The Component Palette lists all of the available components. You can organize your own palette by dragging items around. Components added to the Unused category will not be visible in the toolbar.

Any customizations to the component palette are saved to: %PROGRAMDATA%\Vizrt\Viz Pilot x.y\Config\custom_components.cfg

To return to the default settings, click Load default.
