How do I edit the boxes in certain Desktopx themes?

New to desktopx, just purchased the cylic master skin, and I can't figure out how to add websites to the website panel and utilities/programs etc etc.  I've been looking around and I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious, can anyone help me out?

The panels in many of gef's themes are drag and drop. All you have to do for the utilities/programs and other panels is open explorer find the program you want to add then drag it from explorer to the panel and DesktopX will create a new shortcut on the panel.

Adding a new website takes a lttle more effort. First, I think you have to be in DesktopX builder mode. Right click on the DesktopX icon in the system tray and choose switch to builder mode.

Right click on one of the website objects and choose clone. This will make a copy of this website shortcut at the same location on the panel. With your mouse separate the 2, the original and the clone. Then postion the clone on the panel, right click on it and choose properties from here you can give your clone a new URL and name.

Now when your done making your changes be sure to save your modified DX theme. I like to choose doing a save as and giving it a new name this way the original theme is preserved as original and I can experiment all I want with my modified version. If I screw something up I still have my original.

BigDogBigFeet is correct. First make sure you are in Builder mode.

In this theme though I have not used drag n drop. Just right-click an existing shortcut and select 'clone'. This creates a copy directly over the original. Use CTRL and mouse to drag the clone to the new position and configure.  ;)
