Hi Adam,
You can modify the drag hint template with the following code, right after the initialization of the widget.
It is possible to change the content of the hint (#: data.item.text #) but you would have to keep the .k-drag-status icon. Removing the icon span will cause a JavaScript error.
I hope the information will help.
