Remove Double Arrow Icon from Nested Node

We frequently export cmaps with nested nodes as images or webpages to share with clients, and inevitably people are confused by the non-functioning, double arrow on the right side of nested boxes.
Other than manually removing with Adobe Photoshop, is there some way to remove the nested box double arrow within CMAPTools Software? I am thinking, for example, to replace the double arrow icon with an "invisible" icon.
For that matter, is there any flexibility to edit the icons available for resource links [to other cmaps or data] to user-defined icons?

No, there is nothing that can be done about displaying the nested nodes.

There is a hacky (and of questionable legality*) workaround though: those icons are created based on the
shrinkBigNode.gif and
expandBigNode.gif icons located in the
[your CmapTools installation folder]\classes\nlk.jar
(e.g. the default path on Windows is C:\Program Files\IHMC CmapTools\classes\nlk.jar)
file at the
nlk\util\images\minibar\
internal path. If you just delete them by editing that JAR file with some archiver that supports Java Archives (e.g. 7-Zip), they are not going to be drawn anymore and the program will still function normally (though you wouldn't be able to expand/collapse the nested nodes by clicking that icon anymore, you would have to use the other ways like the right click menu or the
Tools menu). You could also replace the other icons located there in that JAR file and everything would likely function fine.

* Strictly speaking, this would violate article 3 of
the license agreement, so one should probably not be using this any way other than personal (i.e. no sharing of the modified program nor the artifacts produced using it).
EDIT: Actually, having tried this solution, just deleting those icons seems to cause a lot of unnecessary output operations (mostly the error reports about being unable to find the icon) leading to a lot of lagging, so if you want to visually remove the icon without affecting the performance of the program, replace it with a fully transparent one.

Thanks for the solution, just replace the other symbols located in the JAR file, it worked fine for me.
