Cause - This is not an issue and by default this feature is set to Read-only mode.

Solution - This can be enabled easily by changing the Registry entries. Detailed steps on enabling this featured was discussed in the SAP Note 1669254 - SAP GUI 7.30: Branding image in titlebar.

For those who hesitate modifying the registry or not good at registry tweaking, use the below tweaking files. These allows to enable/disable the Branding option easily. (Read Readme_First.txt file before you use the files.)
