Hi,

I altered my numerical images by turning the colour to match the background, quick and easy see www.brighter-smile.co.uk i just edited the /brighter-smile.co.uk/includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/define_main_page.php

#control_div{width:200px;height:18px;position:relative;left:200px;top:-50px;}
ol#controls{margin:1em 0;padding:0;height:00px;}
ol#controls li{margin:0 10px 0 0;padding:0;float:left;list-style:none;height:10px;line-height:10px;}
ol#controls li a{float:left;height:00px;line-height:0px;border:0px solid #ccc;background:#bcc0b1;color:#000;padding:0 10px;text-decoration:none;}
ol#controls li.current a{background:#7d0b0b;color:#ccc;}
ol#controls li a:focus, #prevBtn a:focus, #nextBtn a:focus{outline:none;}
</style>

I am pretty new to this but can get by and no doubt someone will have a better way of removing them altogether, I just wanted to update mine. I just used firebug in firefox to locate and try the changes and then committed when I was happy.hope it helps
