The editor

Open it from the panel's Edit Grids tile (it appears on your PC). The left list holds your pages — each is a tile Grid, a web Dashboard, or a bundled App.

The grid editor — the Default page

On a grid page you can:

  • Edit tiles — label, action (app / URL / shell command / open file / system / Send keystroke / Macro — see Macros & keystrokes — or Go to Bedrock Panel page to jump to another of your pages), and icon: an emoji, the program's own icon, a local image file, or an image URL — paste a link and Fetch, and it's downloaded and cached so the icon works offline.
  • Merge — click a tile, Shift-click another to select a block, then Merge to show them as one larger button (Unmerge to split).
  • Rearrange — drag-and-drop to swap tiles; drag a merged block to move it (tiles it lands on slide into the freed cells).
  • Resize the grid (columns × rows).

Text fields throughout the editor support the usual right-click menu — cut, copy, paste, and select-all.

The shipped Media grid is a 10×4 example built around merged buttons — a 4×4 hero plus a couple of 2×2 tiles:

Edits apply on Save — nothing changes on the panel until then. Which page is shown is controlled by the knob (double-click → page selector), not the editor, so editing never changes what's live.

Starter pages

+ Add page → Starter pages… lists the tile pages a fresh install starts with on this computer — Default, Media, and Dev — and adds the one you pick (or all three) as new pages, without touching the pages you already have. They are the bundled defaults for the platform you are on: on a Mac the tiles name Mac apps (Safari, Finder, Activity Monitor, System Settings, Screenshot, …) and use open / osascript commands; on Linux the tiles name the job — files, editor, calculator, terminal, monitor, settings — and Bedrock Panel launches whichever program that machine actually has, checked against PATH, while a tile naming a real binary such as dolphin is used exactly as typed; on Windows they are the original Windows pages. Handy after copying a config from the other platform, or to get a known-good page back after editing one into a corner.
