I created my devices and selected a few icons for each, then realized I have to still put text over the top of them....redundant....and also they don't really look good on the remote.

So I want to remove the graphic and just use the stock plain black button that shows up whenver you just use text. BUT can't figure out a way to do it.

If I delete the button, i'm deleting the device, I can replace it with more crappy images, but none of the images available or a simple blank button. 

You can right click on the button and hide the text which baffled me for years.

He isn't referring to the stock text. He wants to add text but it's overlaying on top of the icon graphics. The easiest way for you is to move the devices to another page that is hidden and just copy the macro. Go back and create a new button on the page you want it and paste the macro. It will jump to the device's pages, assuming the proper jump command was in the original macro
