== SageTV Studio ==
SageTV Studio is the application used to edit the STV files
that define the entire SageTV user interface. Since version 4.0, this
application is available from within SageTV after the license key has been
entered. (See License Key Registration.) Use
the Customize command to open SageTV Studio for
live editing of the currently loaded STV. 
SageTV Studio usage documentation and information can be

A full user guide for Studio is available,
