Is there a way to remove (or just not show) the box drawn on top of a cluster datatype viewed as icon?

Do I spot a default icon in there 🔍

Yeah.  I spotted that after I posted it.  Usually I edit the icon when I create the VI.  On rare occasions I forget.

Also, for sub VIs that never appear on any block diagram, I'm OK with using default icons; e.g.:

But isn't the definition of a subVI that it appears in a block diagram?

Edit: Well, come to think of it, a subVI called dynamically will never appear in a BD.

Good point.  But is a VI that's called by proxy (e.g. post-build action) a sub VI?

Also, "SubVI" refers to the object on a BD that calls a VI; whereas "sub VI" refers to the VI that's called.

Really?  I always just referred to it as "the VI that gets called from the other one".  I never knew there was a term for it.

As I understand the english language, a "sub <anything>" is an <anything> that's beneath some other <anything> (usually the same kind of <anything>).

"SubVI" (exact capitalization and no space) is the class name of the BD object that calls a VI.
