How can I hide / diable Jira (I) icons next to usernames ?

[Pete P]

We recently upgraded from 8.2.2 to 9.4.3 and are unhappy with the look of the (I) icons next to name.  Looks very sloppy and uneven in our dashboards.  Is there any way to disable or suppress them from displaying?

Alternately, it would look better if the (I) preceded the name then they would line up.

Hi @Pete P ,

While at this time there is no official method of removing the icon, there is a feature request for giving the option to remove the button. 

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSDSERVER-12173

I recommend you vote and watch that particular issue. I also recommend you post a comment with your screenshot to that ticket.

It is possible that adding the following to the announcement banner may remove the icon but I have not tested it:

<style type="text/css"> 2.aui-button .aui-icon { 3display: none; 4}</style>

Thanks @Christopher Maxwell , unfortunately the CSS banner code didn't work.  Seemed like a great idea though

Ah... This did work however for just dashboards - perfect!

<style type="text/css">
#dashboard-content .aui-button .aui-icon { display: none; }

</style>

That's great! And, thank you! It is always great to get updates and closures here.

The aforementioned answers actually do the job pertaining to the username icon but actually messes up many other components like all those 3-dotted buttons as well as  the Comments formatting toolbar also becomes messed up, so I tried it using one of the other Class Names used for this icon which are more specific and it actually hides this icon virtually everywhere I was able to test yet I didn't find any breakage of styles elsewhere.

This is the code that I ended up using inside the Announcement Banner:

<style type="text/css">.aui-button .user-hover-trigger-icon{display: none;}</style>
