Hi,

I made some changes to /root/.config/fbpanel/default and hit the save button. Now when I refresh the fbpanel using "Desktop>DesktopSetting>FBpanelRefresh" everything goes back to the way it was. And when i open the document, everything is back to original settings.

I searched the forums, looked around in the puppy package manager, but didn't see anything that looked like it would help ...
