Christian,

You could create the applet bigger than your map image and then if you
position the map image properly (see the IMG_XY applet param) then the
toolbar wont be displayed on top of the map.  If you set the applet's
BG_COLOR parameter to the same color as your web page then users won't
notice that the applet is bigger than the map.  Also note that you can
set the absolute position of a button anywhere in the applet area using
the TB_BUT_..._XY parameter.
