iDesk - Navrax - 2006-02-11

I successfully created Home.lnk and I now have a Home icon on my desktop :)

table Icon

Caption: Home

Command: rox

Icon: /home/ikaro/.idesktop/home.png # the image to be used as an desktop icon

end

"Do the same for the other icons you want."

But when trying to make a custom icon/shortcut to xmms for example I get nothing.

table Icon

Captian: xmms

Command: rox

Icon: /usr/whereever/my/xmms/icon/is.png

end

After I < nohup idesk > /dev/null & >[/b] it doesn't show up on the desktop :(

I followed the instructions on the HOWTO Fluxbox - Icons using iDesk and I can't find any other documentation, not even on their homepage. Am I doing something wrong like perhaps the Command: ?

You need separate files per icon:

Home.lnk

Code:
table Icon

Caption: Home

Command: rox

Icon: /home/ikaro/.idesktop/home.png

end

xmms.lnk

Code:
table Icon

Caption: xmms

Command: xmms

Icon: /usr/whereever/my/xmms/icon/is.png

end

The command is whatever you would use from a terminal to open xmms.. :)

THANKS :)

I added an option in my Fluxbox menu

[exec] {nohup idesk > dev/null &} /blah.png

Starts iDesk just Perfectly, as opposed to inputting that in a terminal, exiting the terminal, and having iDesk quit :)

This is better :)

Check out your ~/.fluxbox/startup file.. you could also use ~/.xinitrc if you are using "startx"
