    when did this stop working:

    How to remove an inscription with the version number in the lower right corner:
    1. Open Personalization -> Desktop Background
    2. Select the desired wallpaper image.
    3. Choose from the list the "Center"
    4. Appeared item click on the "Change Background Color"
    5. Choose a color white -> OK
    6. Ask in the "Picture position" the desired effect -> Save Changes.

    Yep, already posted several times :D. It´s 'white' for dark wallpapers and 'black' for light ones :smartass:.

    The problem is that you have not used shell32.dll.mui file that is patched. Possibly you could not change it for not having permits.

    I have 2 systems with the 8.1 upgrade one from the ISO and the other with store upgrade offer.. The one i,m logged into with a Microsoft account has no watermark but other without a Microsoft account has a watermark. So then i tried to make a standard account on the un-watermarked Microsoft account version fired up the new account and bang, a watermark.. That's why some have a watermark some don't.

    Maybe as an Windows Pirate I should like the Watermark! Didn't it gives me an appearance top be an legal user in case I get an check by the Authorities or as in Thailand the BSA? In that way those Watermark could be a great help!

    On the other hand, Why even bother with it, it just stand in lower right corner and didn't do anything! Except for sure to remind the user that one day the Trial is over if the user didn't get a work around!

    Yeah...people first remove the watermark, then after some time they start to forget that they are running a BETA and begin to complain, because it isn´t behaving like Win 8 RTM :doh:.Best is, one Beta cycle comes to an end means the next will start, in case MS will use the new release scheme further :good3:.

    When I upgraded from 8 to 8.1 I didn't have watermark, but when I did clean install I had watermark.
