[SOLVED] Adding icons in task bar

Hello,

I tried to find on the Internet and in this forum how to add new icons for applications in the task bar next to "web browser", "File manager", "Text editor" and "Terminal emulator". And my search didn't succeed.

For example, I installed Thunderbird via the command line in the terminal and I'd find quite helpful to have a new icon to launch it directly from the task bar.

Thanks,

Khajib

The launchers are defined starting at line 127 in the stock BunsenLabs ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc

Also, tint2conf will give you a nice gui list of anything that has a valid .desktop file.

Re: [SOLVED] Adding icons in task bar

Thanks to all for this help !

I understand now how it works ! I found all the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications directory via the terminal for their full names. It's easy to add a new line in tint2rc.

I think I'm going to be very fond of this distro .

After editing tint2rc, do

killall -SIGUSR2 tint2
