Removing Gimp logo from image preview in icon

[checxtr]

I recently upgraded from 2.8 to 2.10. I primarily use GIMP to make 16x16 images, and found the preview icon in the very top left of the window to be helpful to check how the image would look at scale. This preview still exists in 2.10, but the GIMP logo is overlaid on the top right of it, making it much less useful. Is there a way to keep the image preview in the upper left (or even the taskbar) but remove the GIMP logo that sits over it and wasn't present in 2.8?

Can you give a few more details. I cannot see any diiference between Gimp 2.8.22 https://i.imgur.com/hFTY5Xj.jpg and Gimp 2.10.30 https://i.imgur.com/aDrX0Tz.jpg
The button top left just toggles the scaling factor when the Gimp window is resized sorry wrong left ...and I am guessing that is not what you mean. Gimp Logo ?? You mean the Image Tab ??

I mean in the very, very top left of the screen on the window bar, right above the File menu. See how there's a Gimp logo on top of the image in 2.10 but not in 2.8?

I've never seen the Image Tab layout before, that might work for my purposes if I could make the logo in the image tab smaller!

I see what you mean. Guessing that little icon is hard-baked into the Gimp 2.10 code.

The image tabs are toggled using Windows -> Show Tabs but the size is not adjustable 

You can always use the Layers preview. The size adjusted using the little left pointing arrow and preview size which goes from tiny to gigantic. Extra small shown. 

   

....now how do I turn off that pesky screen magnifier.....

Other ways to see image previews:

1) View ➤ New view: you get another view on the same image, but with its own zoom factor and scrolling. Perhaps less useful if you are using single-window mode.
2) Windows ➤ Dockable dialogs ➤ Images: works a bit like layers, but shows whole images previews. The Tiny preview size seems to be 16x16.

This is helpful, thank you!

One thing I'm realizing I appreciated about the window bar view was that it placed the image on a light background. The images I'm working with are frequently a dark figure that only takes up a part of the 16x16 area, so it's very useful to be able to see the transparency as it will look in the finished product. The light and dark grey checkerboard obscures the detail around the edges, particularly at this very small scale. Is there any way I could set the image previews to display on a light background?

Not a lot of difference between the images dock and an Images dock Another look at options.

   

You can change Alpha representation from checks to plain in Edit -> Preferences -> Display Check style and Check size
The lighter grey is transparency
The darker grey comes from Edit -> Preferences -> Image Wiondows -> Apperance where you can set a Custom padding colour.
