But that one is a TW Classic!

That will NOT work by just drag & drop! In principle they could be combined, but you need to know what you are doing. If you want to do that start with the top menu from tw5toolbar and add a new button for the left menu. Anyhow the height of the top menu need top be increased.

The other entries will work since they are referring to system tiddlers. As I already suggested in my answer to Danielo, it will be better to make a standard left menu as default (just ordinary links in it) and add the slider example to the "Some suggestions for menu entries". Or I have to modify the slider menu so that it only links to system tiddlers that are needed for the functionality. > > I'm gonna keep messing with things. > > Here is the TiddlyWiki I have right now.: > > > https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B300Uw4EAaNoZHg4STYwNmdTSzQ/edit?usp=sharing > Keep experimenting, the best way to learn. And although you can add tiddlers by drag & drop only, I tried to show in my guides what is needed. Have a look at the code (shown in the guides) and especially the comments in all stylesheets.
