Icon and caption on top bar of windows

Of most of my programs there is a little icon on the top left of that program (i.e. Mozilla Firefox has the Firefox icon on the top left of the screen when I'm using that program) that probably is confusing... i was wondering if that could ever be removed or changed to another icon? I also am wondering if I could change the caption at the top of the bar so it doesn't say Mozilla Firefox but rather say Safari. That caption shows up on objectdock too so could I change that?

Of course you're using Visual Styles. There is no way to get rid of them except by using WindowBlinds.

You can change the firefox default icon.

Taken from the Mozilla website

Change the window icon

You can change Firefox's default window icon to any icon you want, by following these steps:

Go to the folder you installed Firefox in (e.g. C:Program FilesMozilla Firefox) and then go to the subfolder chrome.

While in chrome, create a new subfolder called icons, then go to that folder and create yet another subfolder called default. The full path to this folder could be C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxchromeiconsdefault.

Choose the icon you want to use (on Windows use .ico files, on Linux use .xpm files) and then place it in this folder and rename it to main-window.[ext], e.g. main-window.ico on Windows and main-window.xpm on Linux.

I personally use a blank icon so nothing shows up.

As for any other program, I'm sure if you use reshack you could change the icons too. Just remember to back up your files first.

As for changing the title, this can be done with a firefox extention. Google for one called TitleBar Tweak.

This question has been asked before. Applethink and mps69 basically answered the question, but search.
