HTC Today screen WITHOUT any of the 6 icons

[Image911]

Greetings, and Happy Holidays to all!

I'm wondering if there is a way to simply remove ALL of the 6 icons at the bottom of the HTC Home Today screen, yet KEEP the digital clock AND the three message icons (you know, the "missed email, IM and Phone calls" images).

I'm a disaster mitigation specialist, as well as firefighter and medic... and often use our XV6700 - with Touch Commander set to activate when we simply depress the #5 key. That's fine when we're on a medical call and just wearing rubber gloves, but when we are wearing gauntlet-style gloves, this makes one-handed use... while on a fire or rescue scene - harder. (as you can imagine!)

I don't need the rest of the bells and whistles... just the basic HTC Home - with the clock and message buttons.

Any feedback would be MOST helpful!

Thank you for your time and consideration, and look forward to your reply.
