Add Icon to LauncherUpdated: April 15th, 2015
Created: 12/04/15This example adds a home made icon to Unity Launcher to run LAMP startup script
1. Create file using terminal [gksudo /usr/share/applications/lamp.desktop]
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=LAMP
Comment=Start LAMP
Exec=/home/roger/Documents/my_scripts/lamp.sh
Icon=/home/roger/My Icons/apache/apache3.ico
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
GenericName=LAMP
2. Open folder [gksudo nautilus /usr/share/applications/] and drag LAMP to unity bar
3. To do
a) move script and edit /usr/share/applications/lamp.desktop
b) make script dual purpose so it unloads LAMP on alternate clicks
4. When restarting later in the day the LAMP icon was not displayed in Unity but when I soft restarted it is now there? OK now after hard restart?
