Add a "Customize" link to left navigation in WordPress - wordpress

I'm working on a theme for WordPress and I'd like to add a link in the left navigation that points to the "customize" feature that is built into WordPress.
The only way I know of in WordPress to get to that panel is to go to Appearance > Themes and then click the "Customize" text link next to the theme screenshot. That seems really hidden for an average user.
I'd like to put a text link under "Appearance" that points to that panel. The link that WordPress uses to get there is:
mydomain.com/wp-admin/customize.php
This needs to be in the theme's files, not hacking the WordPress core.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Sorry to state the obvious but the only way you can do this would be to modify the core.
Or possibly add it as a shortcut link in the top black nav bar / dashboard area
I've modified the admin before and it's not unheard of to do it.

How to change the position of a plugin option menu in WordPress Dashboard

I try to rearrange the order of menus in Dashboard in WordPress without using a plugin.
I changed the order of basic menus such as "Posts", "Pages", "Comments"... But I have been struggling to move the plugin menu "All in One SEO" which is on the second position in Dashboard.
Is there a way to move it under Settings menu?
If it's not easy to change the order of this plugin option menu, I would like to remove it from Dashboard menu. I tried to use the following code, which does not work:
remove_menu_page('admin.php?page=all-in-one-seo-pack/aioseop_class.php');
Thanks for your help.
You can demote the ALL IN ONE SEO plugin's menu to bottom using this setting they have there:
"Go to General Settings in All in One SEO Pack, scroll down to the Display Settings box and you will see the checkboxes there where you can disable AIOSEOP on the Admin Bar and demote the side menu item to the bottom."

You may have a JavaScript error in your theme when viewing the customisation pane. JavaScript errors can (sometimes) cause unrelated areas to not function properly as the JavaScript engine essentially falls over.
I would suggest trying the same with a stock theme (Twenty Twelve, for example), so you can find if it is a theme-specific problem. If it is a problem with the theme then you can consult with the author of the theme.

Wordpress menu links wrong

I have a Wordpress theme which has been designed, however, the links are wrong at the top
For example:
About Us should go to here
Furniture should go to here
The link to the blog is here
I have already tried adjusting the position, and the width of each menu item, but to no avail.
In Wordpress Admin console there is the option Appearance>Menu. Create a new menu, add the items you want (you can add pages you made, create custom items with links to other pages, etc), save the menu. Now go to Appeareance>Themes>Customize current theme and change the navigation path.

How to use wp-nicescroll plugin in WordPress site

I've this personal wordpress site:
www.RagaBhakti.com
where I'm trying to replace the ugly vertical and horizontal scroll bars with nicescroll.
So I went to http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-nicescroll/installation/
and installed and activated the nicescroll plugin.
Since I'm new to Wordpress, I don't know what the next steps are in order to see the scroll bars change to nicescroll.
If there is some Jquery stuff that needs to be added to the actual pages, it would be helpful to know in detail how to go about doing this.
Thanks.
As I see your website now, jQuery and NiceScroll loads properly and works.
Notice that the scroll bar accutally appears only when you scroll with the scrollwheel. You have to customize it to suite your needs in the options of the plugin, in your Wordpress Admin section.

WordPress - Modifying the MediaFlux theme

I have installed the MediaFlux theme from Mojo-Themes on my website at www.sjsueconomics.org. Here are my questions:
As you can see on the website, the blue menu at the very top of the page currently displays Page Titles. I want to display External Links there instead. How do I modify the code to do it?
The main menu (red text below the logo) currently displays Categories. Without changing the style or appearance, I want to display the Page Titles instead. How do I do it?
Thanks in advance!
The company you paid for the theme provides support, not a community which has no access to this product.
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com ; customizing a paid theme while providing no code (and having no right to provide any code) is not an appropriate subject for a StackOverflow question
if the theme supports custom menus, there ought to be a Menus page in the admin, under Appearances probably, or perhaps Settings. Go there, then create a menu with the pages or categories you want, then tell the theme to use the menu you created instead of the default. If the theme doesn't have such a feature, you'll need a programmer.
