I've searched the drupal.org up and down and up to page 15 on Google, can anyone enlighten me as to how I can remove the suffixed colon at the end of a field's label?

This is purely for aesthetic purposes

Thanks in advance

The easiest way is this:
Override the theme_field function in your template.php if you like and remove that colon in there. See http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--field--field.module/function/t....

I used this in my template.php

function mytheme_field($variables) {
  $output = '';

  // Render the label, if it's not hidden.
  if (!$variables['label_hidden']) {
    $output .= '<div class="field-label"' . $variables['title_attributes'] . '>' . $variables['label'] . ':&nbsp;++</div>'; //<-- HERE the colon
  }

  // Render the items.
  $output .= '<div class="field-items"' . $variables['content_attributes'] . '>';
  foreach ($variables['items'] as $delta => $item) {
    $classes = 'field-item ' . ($delta % 2 ? 'odd' : 'even');
    $output .= '<div class="' . $classes . '"' . $variables['item_attributes'][$delta] . '>' . drupal_render($item) . '</div>';
  }
  $output .= '</div>';

  // Render the top-level DIV.
  $output = '<div class="' . $variables['classes'] . '"' . $variables['attributes'] . '>' . $output . '</div>';

  return $output;
}

Where i tried to put some ++ after:&nbsp; , But this is not working. My label has to be a word without colon before the value.
It would be nice have this option directly in Display Suite UI.
Any helps?

What you have to do is replace (1^) with the name of your theme, then delete the colon above pointed out by the comments.

Finally just paste this code into a template.php file and save it in your theme folder, then clear your cache (under: configuration > performance) click on the appearance tab, refresh the page and save the configuration, when you go back the colons should be removed.

Post in #4 is correct. #3 are errors not related to DS, and I'm not going to make this an option for now. There are easy overrides possible for this problem.

Note, in the next release, there will be an option to remove the colon completely for the reset function or there is an option with the 'expert' field template to remove it as well.

You can use this if you want as well.
Paste this block into your version of 'page.tpl.php' in your template folder.

    drupal_add_js(
      'jQuery(document).ready(function () {
        var labels = jQuery(".field-label");
        jQuery.each(labels, function() {
          this.innerHTML = this.innerHTML.replace(":", "");
        });
      });',
      'inline');
