Taskbar bleedthru on screen when watching movie - what can I do?

[jakobkraft]

I've had my axim x30h for about a year and a half now, have watched a ton of movies on it, but I've only recently noticed that when I'm watching a movie taking up the whole screen (I use TCPMP in 'right hand mode') there are faint little white lines on the left side of the screen exactly where the taskbar would ordinarily be.

Maybe I should get an app. that lets me place the taskbar on top instead of on the bottom? But then would I have bleedthru on top of the screen in a couple of months when watching movies?
I love my axim and use it for almost everything; I'd hate to have to replace it over this...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance...!
