Can "Demonstrate block regions" use a specific template?

I have two templates in my theme called page–front.tpl.php and page.tpl.php. When I click at the link “Demonstrate block regions” (Structure/Block) it shows the page.tpl.php template. Is it possibly to change the template to page–front.tpl.php?

Thank you for your answer.

My .info file look like this
name = xxx
description = xxxxx
core = 7.x
engine = phptemplate
stylesheets[all][] = css/css.css
regions[banner] = Banner
regions[header] = Header
regions[leftcolumn] = Left Column
regions[content] = Content Column
regions[rightcolumn] = Right Column
regions[footer] = Footer

It should be all right I think?

page.tpl.php is my sub page and consist of the regions: banner, header, left column, content column and footer.
page–front.tpl.php is my front page and consist of the regions: banner, header, left column, content column, right column and footer.

The website works perfectly. It shows content as it should do. But when I use the link “Demonstrate block regions” (Structure/Block) it shows the page.tpl.php template (I have checked that with devel_themer). I can see the regions: banner, header, left column, content column and footer. Not the region right column.

I wish it was the template page–front.tpl.php instead of page.tpl.php so I could see all the regions.
