Hey All:

I've posted this question to stackoverflow, experts-exchange, and the
MSDN forum without any luck. So I thought I'd try here.

I'm currently getting my feet wet with Win CE 5.0 and Qt 4.5 to update
some applications on an existing platform. I'm interested in deploying
a custom home screen/application launcher.

The idea is to replace the standard bottom-of-the-screen CE taskbar
with a custom top-of-the-screen status bar (think iPhone). I'm
assuming the standard CE shell and taskbar can be customized because
the source code is made available with Platform Builder. I was
wondering how "painful" it would be to completely replace it with a Qt
app (the new status bar). I thought application switching and other
tasks normally associated with the taskbar could then be handled by
shortcut keys.

I'm basically trying to find a way to reserve the first 20 or so pixel
rows at the top of the screen for the new status bar and prevent
maximized application windows from drawing over top of it. I'm not
sure how Windows "reserves" space for the taskbar...registry setting,
perhaps?

Thanks very much for the help.
