I would like to make the following modifications to the forms used for user registration and for updating a user's contact information, and would appreciate any insight on how to do so. Even knowing which specific files need to be modified would be helpful.
1. There are three icons and associated descriptions I want to eliminate that are associated with various fields in both forms: "Field visible on your profile", "Field not visible on profile" and "Information: Point mouse to icon". The only icon I want to utilize is "Required Field". How can I get rid of the former three?
On the form for updating Contact Info, three fields appear that are not part of user registration, and I want to eliminate these: "Frontend language", "Editor" and "Time zone". How to do so?
On the form for Registration, I want to make the "Register" button larger and a different color. Same for the Contact Info form's buttons for "Update" and "Cancel". How to do so?
Thanks for your help in answering my previous questions. Your timely support is much appreciated.
On your field manager you would select the fields options; "show on profile", no".
regarding eliminating them from showing up: simply "unpublish" the field in field manager.
as for making the register button and update and cancel buttons; that is css that you would have to change. I know just enough about that to get myself into trouble, so good luck. Use firefox inspect element in firebug to find out what needs to be edited.
Thanks for your reply. On your first point, I do want these fields to show on the profile. I want to eliminate the three icons that appear next to the fields and the descriptions for each that appear on the top/bottom of the forms. The only one I want to see is the icon for "Required Field".
The fields "Frontend language", "Editor" and "Time zone" are not published. I did not create them, and they, as expected, do not show up in the user registration. But somehow they pop up as fields when a user wishes to update his/her contact information. I want to get rid of these, and there is no trace of them on the backend that I can see.

I've created the image files for you and attached them to this. I don't know how they will show up though.
1) create a 1 pixel, transparent image and name it "icon-16-info.png"
2) make a copy of that image and name it "icon-16-profile-no.png"
3)using ftp find the files I indicated above and rename them "ORIGINAL_icon-16-profile-no.png" and "ORIGINAL_icon-16-info.png"
4) upload your images in step 1 and 2, to your server in the respective directories. (where the original files you wish to replace are now).
You want to keep the original files! Just rename them as I did so you can always go back to "factory settings" if necessary.
I'll keep working on the timezone thing. Now that you mention it, it's got me baffled too. I'm new at this so it may take a while. Anyone else, feel free to jump in and help.

Keep in mind, I am using CB profile template, winclassic. You will have to find the correct file for the template you are using.
I made a tab, "hidden" selected, Publish - NO
go to fields manager and find field "params"
move to TAB, hidden from tab, contact info.
Seems to be working, but I can't guarantee there wont be issues later.
