At the bottom of the Today screen, you got your SOFT button functions written, and some icons for applications like Comm Manager & Battery.

Personally, I don't care for that section of the today screen.

I wish to use that space taken on my screen to have more TODAY plugins.

Is there such a mod/hack/registry tweak/whatever to do so?

you can remove the battery and comm manager icon by editing the registry like so:

Remove the Battery Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000

Remove the Wireless Manager Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000000

As for the soft key buttons, I do not believe there is a way to remove that bottom bar.

there is a possibility to remove the soft keys from the today screen:
use VJToggleToday2alpha (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=243211)

I've seen the registry tweaks for comm mgr and battery.. but have not seen anything for the icon I get when I put the phone ni vibrate mode, and the other various app-specific icons (ie. I think Pocket Informant stuck an icon there). Seems more like there needs to be a setting to say "tray icons are disabled" vs. disabling each specific tray icon...
