How Come when I hide icons they just DIM out?

When I hide icons they just get Dim...They still take up space and show up on the screen.

So I don't see the purpose of hiding them???

Also might start another post but can you launch Quick Launch w/ a button or do you have to click on the QL Icon??

Thanx

BB>toggle show all

Hit the blackberry key and uncheck the option "Show All" and that'll completely hide all of the grayed out ones.

Awesome!! Thanks that was easy!!
