What Can You do With the DDT?

The desktop design tool allows you to create or edit a desktop layout, then apply theme on top of it. The desktop design tool can be separated into two major areas: layout and theme. You can use the Desktop Design Tool to work on a selected DN which does not have any display profile document loaded, and create a brand new desktop from scratch. A default theme (Look & Feel) is used, and you can switch to a different theme using the Manage Theme link from the Desktop common task area.

In the desktop design tool, when a new desktop is created, the desktop type value is theme_support. In the blank slate scenario, when you create a new organization, the desktop type is default and the parent container is DefaultChannel. After you use the desktop design tool to design the new organization, the desktop type is default and the parent container is changed to DefaultJSPTabContainer.
