HI Arquebus - you can (nearly) completely remove them by deleting this UI file from your installation:
C:\Program Files\MoI beta Mar-9-2007\ui\ViewControls.htm

Right now there will still be a tiny rectangle left over after removing that, but I will see if I can tune up the next beta so that if you remove that UI file there won't be anything down there at all.


However, there are 2 important controls on that panel for zoom area and reset in addition to zoom/pan/rotate.

Even if you use the mouse commands for zoom/pan/rotate, it is still quite useful to have these other 2 commands available.
