My thermostat has this feature- a "clean me now" button that suspends all buttons until the countdown (30 seconds) is completed.  During that time you can wipe the screen clean.

I find that my WebDT gets fairly dusty- with a suspend button I could avoid powering down (or suspending the device) to clean it.  At the end of the day with the quick the WebDT resumes very quickly from a suspend, but I think I would prefer not having to do this.

Don't have the slightest idea what this would take...

I can do a screen for that, tonight.

I will put it in the Advanced Options page, where the empty button spot is.

The screen will have a 60 second timeout, and then return to the advanced options screen.

I am sure you guys also have those small little Windows applications, that you can use to clean up your keyboard and your mouse...
