LyX ⇒ how to modify an exsisting template?

[lyxrocks]

I really love the elsarticle.lyx template, but I want to modify some of its settings.

1, I want to get rid of the lines above and below the abstract.

2, I want to get rid of the texts and date on the bottom of the first page

I included the lyx file and the compiled pdf file for clarity.

thanks in advance!

also, how to add my own format to an existing template?

for example, a format called "Apples" where one would draw an apple, i want apples to be numerated, so "Apples 1" "Apples 2" etc, and I want these "Apples" to be in my ToC too.
