4E Cards

As you know 4E D&D uses cards for specific types of powers: At Will, Encounter, Daily, and Utility.  Is there a way to customize cards and keep track of Encounter and Daily powers and attach a macro to these cards, or do I have to rely on macros individually?

Also, the Character Abilities macros are able to use inline dice, but the Macro Settings Tab isn't.  Is there either A: a way to make the name for a PC invisible if pinned to the Macro Bar (the PC doesn't need to see his name repeated over and over), or B: a way to use Inline dice for the Macro Settings Tab?  

Any help would be much appreciated.

Nevermind the Macro Settings Tab, question.  I was just doing it wrong.  But is there a way to delete the character name plate when pinning from a character sheet?  Might be useful to my players.

No, there is not currently a way to make the name for a PC invisible. Some people just shorten the names to 1-2 characters for this reason. 

The reason that the name is visible is that you may have multiple character sheets and thus need to keep the macro names separate. However, if you have a suggestion for a different way you are welcome to post a suggestion in the suggestion forum. :)

Edit: Just realized I missed your first question. You can make your own cards by loading images on the front and back.
You cannot attach a macro to cards. Sorry.

I make a deck for each player and using the character sheets from the character builder take a snapshot inside acrobat then use paint.net to paste it and arrange it how i like then I import this image onto the card for the specific player. then when i begin play i deal the cards to the player corresponding to the deck i created for them.

What file format do you use to upload the images? I tried creating a word doc, no luck. Then I tried screen-shotting that and it wouldn't load. Didn't say couldn't load, just stalled. I really would love to have this set up for my players!
