Basically, CHT still uses your WinMo taskbar, which uses one predetermined image for this area.
Anyhow, great idea, possible with a full screen mode, but not through WinMo. It would have to overlay it. So, for now, not it's not gonna happen.
But that's not to say that a full screen mode isn't possible in a later revision of CHT(CHTwall.exe).

Thanks for the explanation! Yeah, I see what you mean regarding performance impact. I looked at what was moving, and yup, the taskbar & softkey bar are fixed.
I'm not sure how the screen data is stored (data structure-wise), or how it's manipulated by the OS, but maybe the task & softkey bars could be "emulated" ... meaning they could be converted to image data & superimposed over the wallpaper image for each page? Then, the entire wallpaper could be moved back & forth. To enable task & softkey functionality, not sure exactly how to implement this since I have no clue how the OS is designed, but obviously we could just look for presses at locations associated with tasks/softkeys. So, this might require a complete re-write of the taskbar/softkey routines?
What a PIA!! LMAO!! But hell, it would be tight as hell! :P
Thanks again for the explanation.
Peace...
