Anyone on SharePoint 2013 have a recipe for converting the Gear Icon for Site Settings to a clickable label like on SharePoint 2007.
I’ve had trouble identifying all the pieces for two controls: Pop-Out BreadCrumb and the Site Setting Gear Icon. I realize both are using an image sprite and I can identify position and offset.
What I’d like to do with the Site Settings is to change it back to a clickable label like 2007. Too many gear icons confuse me and I’m sure other users as well.
What I’d like to do with the BreadCrumb is provide a bigger image. I’ve seen case of the icon disappearing with different Composed Looks.
With these controls, it’s not just a matter of swapping out the icons–the event handlers need to be set-up correctly to respond to the click and hover.
You would need to drop something into the master page. This ‘should’ work. This will rewrite that IMG tag with your new img. The CON to this is you actually see the original first and then it is rewritten when the page loads.
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.0.min.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
$( document ).ready(function() {
$(‘.ms-siteactions-imgspan > img’).attr(‘src’,’pathToImage‘);
});
</script>
