Lockscreen widgets - Any way to turn off the highlighting of the left side?

Every time I wake my N7 it highlights the "add a widget" portion to the left of the clock. It only highlights on the left, and it looks bad. Is there any way to turn off the ability to add lockscreen widgets? I don't want anything besides the clock and I really don't like it highlighting something I don't want to use.

This is annoying me too

There is an app doing that "Lockscreen Features Policy"

I second the Lockscreen Features Policy app... works like a charm!

The one thing that annoyed me the most solved. :)

I was wondering how to disable this also. We should not have to download an app to do this. This should be a simple thing to add to the settings and be able to disable this using stock android.
