Do you mean your regular icons IE: Internet Explorer, Firefox... etc? You cant really import them into the theme what I did was download another program called Fences (its at the bottom of the OP) this program allows you to creat gradient boxes to house your applications, I highly recommend Fences.

Yeah, I downloaded that bit as well. Does it allow me to get my other programs on the them rather than hiding the theme any time I want to open photoshop?

I dont really understand what you mean like you can have both running as in the picture, Fences can house any type of icon IE: photoshop, minecraft etc.... opening photoshop shouldnt do anything
