Remove the start bar at top

---

hey guys,

wonder if this possible, i love the the new SPB3 but is there anyway to take out the start and bar at the top of the page, the standard WM6, cause looks really nice then you have the standard ugly bar at the top

If it is possible can you explain in detail, cause not a great 'Hacker' as such

thanks in advanced

The answer that I got from SPB regarding the very same question:

Even if there is away to disable the start button and take it out, leave the bar with the sound, and signal etc just want to take the start button and wording away??

i just want someway of getting rid of it, as it really spoils it

There might be a Custom Firmware, but i dont think you want to go Through all of that.

But other than that... You can download a Registry editor and:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell]
"DisableCtrlEsc"=dword:00000001

I installed PointUI Home2 on my xperia and it has a option to remove the top bar!! it really makes it look alot better... SPB should just make the same option available... shouldnt be to hard...

if the start bar is removed... wouldn't there just be a visibly blank area in its place?

isn't MS3 built to fit a specific dimension?
