Combine notification bar and navigation bars?

[Voodoo7]

I've had my N7 for a few weeks now and love it. It's been a fantastic (and cheap) laptop replacement. One thing that really bothers me though is the amount of screen real estate taken up by the notification bar at the top and the navigation bar at the bottom, particularly when I'm in landscape mode.

Are there any apps or launchers that would allow me to combine those two bars together? Or is this something that requires a custom rom?

Thanks for the help!

I believe you're referring to a custom rom called "Paranoid Android."

if you're rooted, you could change the dpi from 213 to 160 to trick Android into using the tablet UI, which has the back/home/app switcher on the left side and the notifications and time on the right side. refer to this post at XDA for more info and screen caps of what the tablet UI looks like: Tablet UI on Nexus 7 [How to / Video / Build.prop Modification] - xda-developers

i used method 1, with Rom toolbox lite.
