Thanks. Indeed it does. The thing is that I had it this way (logo set in the skin, not the theme) since I started using XWiki sometime with version 7.x (if not earlier) and it only "broke/changed" with the upgrade to 8.1 It's not a complaint, just pointing out my observation and the resolution to the problem I had :-) Thanks again for everyone's help.
