So far there is no preference in the GUI for showing the MBI Logo.

The reason why the logo is not displayed is that the variable m_ForceShowMBIDepartmentLogo is set to false in mitkManufacturereLogo.cpp.

I will have a look next week.

Correction: The reason why the logo was not shown, was due to the first if-command in method OnPreferencesChanged of QmitkStdMultiWidgetEditor. Here we access to the preference "Department Logo" which has not been set before. Consequently, the logo is disabled.

std::string departmentLogoLocation = prefs->Get("DepartmentLogo", "");

if( departmentLogoLocation != "MBILogo" )
{

if (departmentLogoLocation.empty())
{
  d->m_StdMultiWidget->DisableDepartmentLogo();
}
else
{
   d->m_StdMultiWidget->SetDepartmentLogoPath(departmentLogoLocation.c_str());
    d->m_StdMultiWidget->EnableDepartmentLogo();
}

}

Possible solutions:

1. Set default string to "MBILogo" and if string is not changed, step over the first if-command in OnPreferencesChanged

std::string departmentLogoLocation = prefs->Get("DepartmentLogo", "MBILogo");

2. Check if preference "Department Logo" exists anf if not, step over the if-command as well
   
   std::vector<std::string> keys = prefs->Keys(); bool found = false; for( int i = 0; i < keys.size(); ++i ) { if( keys[i] == "DepartmentLogo") { found = true; break; } }

3. CMake solution

Enable MBI Logo in 3D render window

Solution number 2 was implemented. I think this was the most cleanest way to solve this bug.
