In Menu Designer when I click on the "Musicbox" template the "Modify" option is greyed out - see pic.
(Same problem if I right click it - "Modify" still greyed out in contect menu)
How do I fix this so I can edit the template?

UPDATE: I just noticed that this ("Modify" greyed out) seems to be the case with ALL my templates that have animated backgrounds.
Perhaps you can't modify these?

Hi NigelVideo -

You've answered your own question. Some templates cannot be modified via the regular method, largely because of the video clips & animations.

If you were very keen, you could go to the trouble of modifying the contents of the template folder... but whether it's worth the trouble is debatable.

Cheers - Tony

Hi Tony,
Thanks for confirming that as I could have wasted hours thinking it was something wrong with my install.
Another one to add to my PD "Gotchas" list... yes I really do have one
