Rename Overlay label.. :Rename the overlay label of this shelf (The four characters shown on the bottom of the shelf).

Clone : Clone the shelf in place for later use.

Reset Icon to Default.. :Replace this shelf button's icon and highlight icon to the default MG-Shelf icon.

lightbulb Tips: The tool adds MGTools folder/MGTools_LocalData/MG_UserIcon as its icon search path.

So if your shelf icon is no longer available, the tool wil first search the MGTools local folder,

which is Maya User Script Folder/MGTools/MGTools_LocalData/MG_UserIcon, if the icon with the same file name is found then use the icon instead.

if no yet and MGTools is installed as server program, it will continue to search the MGTools Server Dir/MGTools_LocalData/MG_UserIcon.

So this means, you'd better put the shelf icons into the MG_UserIcon so that it is more portable.
