    I've been searching for a way to do this, but so far have come up empty-handed, so I figured I'd ask the source:

    Is there a way to remove the two red lines in the bottom-right corner on dock icons for Windows apps? I think it would really help bolster the feeling of integration if my apps (namely Office 2007 and Google Talk) didn't have to be distinguished with the watermark from other things on the dock. (see attached image if you don't know what I'm talking about)

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Replacing dock icons in parallels

    Try this - right click on the icon on the dock - click options and then 'show in finder'. When you get it on the screen, right click on it and then click "get info". Then change the logo as you would do with any other apple logo! Worked for me...i agree, having 2 lines down it looks poor!

    Let me know if it doesn't work!

    Sorry how do you change logo?

    Kinda new to Macs but I see no option on the get info page to change apple logo to remove the 2 lines. Can you give a little more details for us newbies? using 4.0

    When you have the info screen there will be an image of the icon at the top. As with all apple icons you can click on it and it will glow (blue border). It is then a simple matter of copying your new logo (say from a web page) and 'pasting' your new logo here (while it is glowing blue press CMD V). If you continue to fight it let me know and I'll do some screen captures and send them to you
