Yeah I was able to replicate the issues that you described. Creating and empty array/cluster caused all the controls to disappear on the palette. That is why the existing clusters in the palette contains a dummy "Delete Me" control :).
You can do the same with a decoration to add it to the palette:

2) Press Ctrl+R from within the Design Palette window to Refresh (re-initialize) the design palette -- note that this is not an official feature, but more of a developer-level feature that will most likely change in the future 🙂
I knew there should be an alternative 🤓

Thanks Jim
I checked the link out and it worked. Here is how my library looks so far.
Is there some kind of a command that I can type to refresh the existing controls after I drag new controls to my custom controls folder? I guess the app loads the directories when it loads with LabVIEW and i have to restart LabVIEW whenever i add a new control.

Hi @ammouri. Can you please try out the new 1.0.1 release and let us know if this resolves your issue.
Hi Jim
It seems that all the issues that I was facing were resolved in the new release. Well done.
An irrelevant question: would it be possible to add my own controls to the palette in a future revision?

Hmmm... it seems that it could be the system controls, or some control(s) in particular that might be causing the issue, once they appear on screen. Are you able to scroll all the way through the classic controls? All the way through the Flat UI controls?
I suspected that but could not pinpoint which one could be causing the issue. I monitored the memory consumption to see if it is spiking during scrolling but it is not.
I am not able to scroll all the way in neither classic nor Flat...
And out of no where, i am sometimes getting the error below (even when the design palette is not open). I guess the palette continuously check for communication with the server in the background for some reason.

Hi Jim
13 hours ago, Jim Kring said:Are you able to use the Design Palette if you don't do any scrolling? Or, does it tent to freeze after a certain period of time? I'd like to know if the freeze is related to the scrolling, or if it's just happening regardless.
Yes i am able to use the palette if not scrolling. It is not freezing after a period of time.
Below are also some observations:
The palette will freeze if I:
- Select "System theme" from the combo box (the classic and flat works fine)
- Maximize the palette
The palette will NOT freeze if a I scroll with a limited number of controls shown (for example when filtering to show only boolean controls)

Just installed the design palette from VIPM and when i scroll down, LabVIEW freezes and i am forced to end its task. Check attached screen capture.
LV version: LabVIEW 2015 (32-bit)
OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)
I also noticed another weird behavior: if i open a project, the Design palette will open with it, but when i close the project, the design palette will remain open and will prevent the LabVIEW welcome screen from opening (can't browse recent document or create new projects). I can still however press ctrl-n to create a new VI...
Arrays/clusters with no elements and decorations not supported
in JKI Design Palette

Nice. The empty clusters and arrays now work without issues!
Here is a suggestion for the existing clusters/arrays that contain a delete me button (in case you need to keep it after the latest upgrade): why not make the text hidden and the color transparent so it won't even appear (since it is going to be deleted anyway)
And for the decorations, I suggest that you put the decoration on top of an transparent empty cluster that will get deleted after being placed on the FP (in a similar approach to the above).
