Re: How to create a custom launcher

 

Hi Lee,

You could use lxshortcut.

In terminal, you go to your desktop folder. Run this command: lxshortcut -o
application_name.desktop (Of course you will want to change
"application_name" to something else).

A dialog will appear and you can choose the name or the icon, set the path
to the file...

I hope we will have a right click function on desktop like in Xubuntu soon.
