Modifying theme components

Is this possible??

from WinCustomize Forums
Not looking to mess around with themes per se, but purely to modify some aspects of menus etc. Why (or is it just me) do all theme components seem to be identical e.g. only email program available is Thunderbird, Office never shows Outlook, and Internet never shows actual installed browsers preferring to show ones I've never heard of and/or forcing me to use Firefox. Any way I can tweak these to add in my own programs, as right clicking so far only gives me an option of "remove" which seems inordinately strange to me?

Thanks, TKR

Sorry - mostly Desktop X ones I think - likes of Liquid Vista and VistaM etc. Have WB installed okay but seem to end up just using the DX Theme Manager for the most part, so these are the ones I'd like to tweak a bit more if poss. Tks.

it depends on what the theme's creator has installed

right click the dtx systray icon and switch to builder mode - once in builder mode you can tweak or modify to your heart's content (right click on a shortcut in the theme - set target - to where you want.

check the theme's folder, some include a read me explaining how to tweak it some

if you have one in mind with no read me, post a link to it
