How to disable the user icon in Windowblinds in Windows 7?

from WinCustomize Forums

I'm having major problems with the user pic in windowblinds. The icon shows up even in themes that don't use it. There should be a built in option to disable it in windowblinds. I hope they include it in a future release. I hate the user icons and don't like them displayed as I think they ruin the *look of the themes. I hope someone can recommend an easy fix.  FYI, I have the latest version of windowblinds and it's installed on Windows 7. Thanks, Ron..

boc2, under the Settings in WB7 Configuration see 'show user icon in start panel'.......just leave the box next to it empty.

Didn't work for me. Would you have to use Skin Studio? I really dont mind the User Icon it's the ugly frame I don't like. Wish there was a way to change that.

Then it is probably a fixed part of the start panel. Some WB designs have that. I guess you will have to try the Skin Studio. Good luck.

Hi StephanA, there is no setting to *show user icon in start panel in Windowblinds 7. Though there definitely should be. Thanks...........

To hide the user picture, you need to open the skin on SkinStudio, once there, go to the start menu section, Edit start menu > Top > go to the Extra Settings tab, there you will find "hide user picture", activate that and save the skin.
