How do i add apps in the app menu #3

Closed SAUCYSOUP76 closed 5 years ago

trying to add firefox into the app menu, can't figure out how. Using the arch AUR version.

morgant commented 5 years ago

Judging by the ArchLinux AUR PKGBUILD for mlvwm, it looks like the sample_rc/Mlvwmrc* files get installed in /usr/share/mlvwm/.

To add Firefox, or any other app to the Apple/app menu, you'd want to edit the Menu Apple […] END block to add another line such as:

"Firefox" Action Exec "firefox" exec firefox, Icon mini-nscape.xpm

Of course, it doesn't look like the PKGBUILD installs the mini icons, so I'm not sure if that Icon (or any others) will be accessible.

I hope that at least points you in the right direction.

I installed your mlvwmrc mod, thanks by the way. I'll try this now.

Issue is solved

morgant commented 5 years ago

@SAUCYSOUP76 If you're using my mlvwmrc config files (which is still very much under development and expected to change), the Menu Apple […] END block would be found in the various ~/.mlvwm/themes/ files instead.

Glad you were able to resolve the issue!

Yeah i figured it out got to say i love your file structure, at first i was lost but now i understand it it's brilliant please don't change it.

@SAUCYSOUP76 I'm glad you like it! I don't expect it to change significantly, if at all.
