Hi,

In Easy Morphic Gui (EMG) [1], there is an edit mode. Each GUI morph  
has an edit checkbox in the red halo menu. Once checked it hase  
different impacts:
-edit menu items displayed
-separators and containers become visible
-the GUI morph accepts drops

In a future version of EMG, I plan to introduce image "lock down"  
support before distributing an image to users. One effect of lock down  
will be to remove the edit checkbox and hence disable EMG Guis edition.
