Root Dialer display changes?

I don't need any of the features of 3rd party dialers (I don't think), but I really have no use for the green android eating up the screen. What I'd like to see by default is the keypad. Unfortunately, that goes away after you dial, making any kind of IVR calls a pita... where I have to expand the dialer any time I need to make an in-call input. Has anyone got a hack or know of a flag I can set to make the dialpad expanded by default, and then I can use the button normally if, for some reason I want to hide it. (Currently, stock bottom left button is just a toggle between show and hide pad. I'm fine with that... I just want the starting point to be show.). Make sense?

I'm rooted, but not an expert, so hand-holding instructions for me (and others) would be greatly appreciated.

:eek:
 
if I had to guess, I would assume you would need to create an add on app that detects the call and somehow brings the desired screen to the front. Ease of doing that will depend, partly on the manner htc implemented the phone app

Thanks for the reply. I'm good with that conceptually, but it's definitely beyond my expertise to actually implement. I suppose it will have to just stay on my wishlist for now.
