Removing bottom task bar

[nytoy]

I have searched and read through a few thousand customing today threads, I have the HTC Customizer on there, is the only fix to color the bar the same color as the background? Mine only has the wireless sync icon in it, I want to totally remove it so I have more space. I'd like to remove the top one as well, but from what I've read it doesn't look possible. Please someone help!
