i have a lot of lights in my scene, and i wanted to eliminate the icons, cause it's kinda blocking when i add more stuff in it. Can i remove the icons while working into something?

As far as I know no.

I think people have asked for toggle-able gizmos (lights, audio sources, etc.) before. You might check the feature requests, and vote the request up if it already exists, or add it if it doesn't.

I went ahead and added the feature request. I've run into this annoyance a few times. You can view and vote for it here:

Until a toggle feature appears, you can use layers to lighten the scene view (link text). The quickest would be a script that run in edit mode, looking for all lights (or other ...) and change the layer, then you hide it with the popup at the top right of unity. But you can change the layers manually as well of course.

Could you make a custom light in the Editor (custom editable object that is) with your own gizmo which could be toggled? Seems heavy-handed, but if you really really need it, maybe that might work.

ok, i dont know if this helps you but there is a 'Gizmos' dropdown along the top of the scene bar. Click the dropdown arrow and use the sliders to reduce the size of your icons. J
