is there a way to minimize amount of public items in inspector?
I've ran into a situation in my UI that the inspector is holding way too many public variables. And since i'm new to unity, i'm not sure if this is common practice, or should i use alternative ways, like "GetComponents" or "Resource.Load"
here are some examples of my situation:
as you can see, my main issue is with the sprites. since i hide/show/switch them from code, i need a reference for them.
so all i'm asking, is if this is a common practice, or is there a better way?

Î converted the post to an answer since it accurately answers the question :)
Okay, this helps with public variables that i don't want to change from inspector, so thanks :)
what about the sprites that needs reference, should i leave it the way it is?
You can use Unitys resource.load for loading sprites ins$$anonymous$$d of using inspector fields.
You can also do GameObject.Find on start to find objects but it's advised to never use GameObject.Find outside of start as its expensive.
Do i have to put my sprites in folder named Resources in order for this to work?
@Notter You can use following code to load from resources.
Sprite sprite = Resources.Load<Sprite>("spriteName") as Sprite;
spriteRenderer.sprite = sprite;
