Tachi Phone Canvas - Remove Slide Down for More Options

[dethcom4]

I use speaker phone a lot so it's annoying to always slide that transparent guard every time I make a call. Since all the roms are switching to this, does anyone know if there is a way to remove the slide down for more options bar?

If not, is there a way to remove tachi canvas? I tried installing Calks black dialer skin, but when tachi is there before it breaks the whole dialer if you do that.
