Theme / core edit.

Hi guys, i am running my site using elgg 1.9.2, the bundled Aalborg theme, and 3c river.

I'm currently looking to visually upgrade the login / register pages to make them more pleasing to the eye and adding some gfx etc..

Also i am trying to find a way to 'remove' the standard member links such as : Avatar / name and Links on right hand side.

So i can use avatar and links provided by 3c river.

Any help and pointers is greatly appreciated.
