Remove Quickedit Icons in Blogger-Pencil, Wrench

These quick edit icons are very useful in fact. You can edit your Posts and all the Widgets (Gadgets) in one click...
They do mess up the looks a little bit, but only for your eyes. Nobody else can see those icons...
But, if they are unnecessary to you, there's a way to remove/hide them.

REMOVE PENCIL AND SCREWDRIVER (WRENCH)
To do this, you will have to go to: LAYOUT ► EDIT HTML ► and paste the code:

.quickedit{display:none;}
]]></b:skin>
</head>

<body> 


...paste the code in orange ABOVE the existing code (in white)...


REMOVE PENCIL ICON (FOR EDITING POSTS)
Sign in to your blogger account, then go to: DASHBOARD ► SETTINGS ►BASIC, select "No" beside "Show Quick Editing on your Blog?".
Save Settings. And that's it.

REMOVE SCREWDRIVER ICON (FOR EDITING WIDGETS)
First, back up your template. Then go to:
DASHBOARD ► LAYOUT ► EDIT HTML ► click on the EXPAND WIDGET TEMPLATES, and find the following line in the code section (use CTRL + F for searching):

<b:include name='quickedit'/> 


...you have to delete that line. Sometimes, you have to do it for every widget. For example, if you have 3 "screwdrivers", that means you have 3 widgets, and you have to delete a line for each..

CHANGE THE ICON PICTURE OF PENCIL into something else:
...look here.

Smile!
