LXDE 4.6 Desktop Shortcuts

Post by kenmartin »

I am able to create desktop shortcuts however I have two questions. Below is a sample .desktop file called firefox.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=FireFox
Type=Application
Comment=Firefox
Exec=firefox
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
Icon=/path/to/32x32icon/file/for/shortcut

1) What desktop icons are available and where are they located?

2) Is it necessary to left click then press enter to execute? Can it be set to a double click?

Thanks

1) That's a complex matter, it depends on the icon theme amongst other things. You use an icon chooser for that, try 'yad-icon-browser' (you might need to install yad).
2) this should only happen the first time.
