I want to make the child theme user friendly so...

I have created a couple custom widgets and I want them to display in the widgets settings area above the Thematic widgets, in the order that they apear on the page. I would also like to customize the widget description of a couple Thematic widgets.

"The primary widget area, most often used as a sidebar." and change to something a bit more relavent to how the widget is actually being used.

this is my starting point...
childtheme_override_init_presetwidgets()

any suggestions? If there is a post out there somewhere on how to do this point the way!

Otherwise, I'll figure out how to do it and post the solution.

Thanks!

I also want to make it so that the end user can't delete the Thematic theme from the themes folder...

filter thematic_widgetized_areas instead. you can see the full array in library/extensions/widget-extensions.php

put this in your child's functions.php
```
function kia_change_widgets($widgets){
	$widgets['Primary Aside']['args']['description'] = "This widget loves bacon";
	return $widgets;
}
add_filter('thematic_widgetized_areas','kia_change_widgets');
```
the second part... not so sure of. you can make it so that the other users aren't admins
