remove shortcut overlay

Does anyone know how to or if it is possible to remove the shortcut overlay in the shortcut icons on the ribbon? I tried using a manual approach in registry and just tried a program designed to do this. It works great for all other shortcuts except those in L4. Any ideas?

Not sure what you mean by "overlay". But doesn't right-clicking an icon give you enough control over images and text (in the shortcut bar = ribbon)?

I presume you're talking about shortcuts to external applications. If so, Logos just uses the Windows icon to create the shortcut. So if you've got rid of the shortcut overlay from Windows, and you re-create the shortcut, that should work (though I haven't tested it). If that doesn't work, don't create the Logos shortcut from a Windows shortcut, instead create it from the actual Windows file itself. That definitely works.

I tried recreating the shortcut to the external app and then putting it back in the shortcut bar. The shortcut as it appears in the file manager has no shortcut arrow in the lower left corner but as soon as I put it in the shorcut bar the arrow is there. I do not want to drag the app exe file itself there (I'm assuming this is what you mean by "this definitely works") as I want a specific icon picture for this file.

Sorry, I don't think there's anything you can do, then.
