 |
|
I installed Quanta the other day. For those that dont know, it's a good application for writing code (PHP, HTML, etc). Now then, when I emerged it, it didnt make me any icons anywhere, so the only way I could run it was to do #quanta. I was alright making an icon for it on the top-panel, however I would like there to be one in the 'programming' section of my Applications menu, and cant figure out how to get one there. Any suggestions?

An icon, type in a name, and the command you want to execute (for bzFlag it would just be 'bzflag'.) You can do this in all menu's, and you can also delete unwanted clutter by right clicking and 'Remove This Item'.
And after that, you should be all set with a fully-functional GNOME-based system that is good for most anything. |

Programming section of your 'Start' menu (as I say it  ). Open 'nautilus' and in the address bar type "applications:///" (note the 3 forward slashes). This will take you to the main menu with sub-menus like "Programming" "Games" etc etc.. just go into the sub-menu that you want, and create a launcher with the icon that you fancy. |
