SharePoint User Group UK

On our templates on the "view all site content pages" and the actual data room pages (but not the top site) there is a small yellow icon on the left column just above the links. On the former it looks like a box and on the latter it looks more like a Microsoft folder icon. Is it possible to remove this ? It is the only icon which looks like a Microsoft image and thus spoils the site in my view. 

The easiest way to remove this image on any 'normal' page is to override the CSS for siteImage and set it to display: none;

The downside you have here is that the All Site Content is served from the _Layouts directory which means you can't officially amend the _layout pages. Microsoft state that any amendments to these pages will break any support agreements that you have. Not sure how you can inject the css code in this case without editing the admin.Master.

Any suggestions anyone else?

Wow - does seem amazingly involved. This is the one image on the site which screams "Microsoft" at me and the site would look so much better without it. I thought the point of the software was to customise it to suit. Any MS logo would be the first candidate on my list for customisation/removal.

Re: injecting the CSS - yes - use Themes. Themes do apply to pages from the _layouts folder, so you can control the CSS of them that way.

The downside of this option is, though, that Themes don't inherit down through your site structure (well, out of the box anyway. I'm sure that they can be made do so).

Alternatively, you might be able to use the Alternate CSS URL. I've linked to articles about some of these things at:

Belated thanks for this - unfortunately the solutions are way over my head for the time being (I am not an IT professional) but I am determined to crack this eventually !
