Anybody know how to stop the bluetooth and network active blinking lights but still have the radios be active? Maybe a registry tweak or something?

Thanks...

I would also be interested in this if anyone knows...

That would be neat.

I was wondering myself whether anything could be done to make the lights slowly fade in and out. That would be such a cool effect -- and less annoying that the blinking flash. Imagine an app that allows the user to set a variable flash/fade rate. Sweet!

(Not sure it's possible with the existing hardware inside the Wizard. I'm not an electrical guy, but wouldn't some sort of relay be required for a fade effect?)

As a former electrical guy, I can tell you the kind of hardware you would need to fade in and out is probably not part of the circuitry. The best you can probably hope for is to stop the cellular (and maybe bluetooth) radio indicators from blinking at you ceaselessly. For my own part, I happen to LIKE the fact that my wizard blinks orange at me when I have missed calls, messages, etc. but I too would love to kill the other blinkers.

I found this, but the referenced registry marker is not present on my machine:
