Here is the question and responses from the live chat about softkeys and the wifi, bluetooth icons. Trouble is that there is no way for the someone other than a programer to get rid of them.

Q: [17] Is there a way to disable the soft keys on the screen. Also is there a way to place the icons back onto the bottom bar
that are now claiming the space at the bottom?

A: The SHEnableSoftkey() API should do what you need. I'm not sure what you mean by the icons on the bottom bar.

Q: [43] WM5 now places the wifi, bluetooth etc icons within the screen itself and not on the bottom bar as in SE2003 thus making
the today screen loose about 10 or so pixels from the bottom.

A: Ah, yes, I understand now. The reason for this is that the Today screen did not have soft keys on PP2003SE. There is no longer
any room to put the icons on the soft key bar. The Today window is scrollable.
