Hiding User Pic in Windowblinds 6.01

Hiding User Pic was an Option In WB 5.X but appears to be gone

from WinCustomize Forums
I'm a long time user of WB. Just update to WB 6.01 last week. I always run wihtout a user pic in the start menu. Unfortuntely the ability to hide the user pic seems to have been omitted from WB 6.01. Also, the last user pic selected in XP User Accounts ALWAYS shows up whether I have "If a skin has a replacement user pic icon then, etc., etc., etc....." checked or not. This is ahppening with all of the skins I've tried; Impulse, GTS3 OS, Azenis2. The only skins where In don't see this happening is skins with absolutely no pic defined, for example Driftwood.

Please advise how to hide user pic. Also, can we please get the "Hidw User Pic" option back? Thanks.

Neglected to mention I'm running XP SP2. Also skins that are exhibiting this problem are Ares, Aura, GT3 OS and anything that has a user pic included.

Thanks for the "magic pink" suggestion, think 'll try it. I think I have uncovered what maight be the issue; the WB skin user pic images are .tga files. XP has no idea what to do with them. I'm trying to convert these images to .bmp, moving them to XP user pic folder and see what happens. much rather have no pic at all so the magic pink might just do it.

Ok. Open the skin you are using in SkinStudio.

Sks 5: Click on "userpane" in the tree menu. Then set "Hide user picture" to "Enabled"

Sks 6: Click on "Edit start menu and taskbar". Double-click on "Edit start menu" (opens new window). In the tabs section go to "Extra settings" and click on "Hide the user Picture" and select "Enabled"
