I installed TextMaker in DSL. To run the program, I'd rather click an icon than open a terminal window, etc. Can someone tell me how to create the icon? TextMaker comes with a library of icons that I can choose from. Just need the steps to put the icon on the desktop and point it to the program file. Thanks!Copy your desired icon to /home/dsl/.xtdesktop, then open the icon tool (Desktop -> Icontool). Click the "Add" tab, select your icon, and enter the label, coordinates, and command.I use fluxbox and am do not know if this applies to jwm.
Below assumes you are user dsl.
You need to install the icon file in /home/dsl/.xtdesktop and then you need to create a file like <you give it a name>.lnk. Here is what a .lnk files like.
Code Sample
table Icon Type: Program Caption: LucentTerm Command: /opt/tcltk-8.4/bin/wish /home/dsl/LucentTerminals.tcl Icon: .xtdesktop/lucent.xpm X: 8 Y: 233 Status: anchor end
I just copied one of the existing files and editted it. Some fields are obvious and others I am not sure about.
Caption is the caption for the icon Command is the command you want to execute Icon points to the icon you want to use
X, Y and Status I just left because I was not sure of the values. You might be able to find a better explanation in a fluxbox tutorial.
