Brief Overview
The Customize Menu in the Desktop Editor allows you to modify visual aspects of your WalkMe implementation, including the Desktop Widget, Balloons, and SmartTips. If you would like to change the widget’s default appearance or behavior, you’ll need to refer to the Customize Player tab.
