Home screen
Modifying
Icon files are located under /usr/share/pixmaps.
.png extension is assumed
Any .desktop file placed in /usr/share/applications will appear on the home screen.
Example: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=INSTALLER TryExec=assassin GenericName=Installer Comment=Assassin Openmoko Installer StartupNotify=false Exec=assassin Icon=assassin Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=PackageManager;System;Settings;Bar;
In the above example, 'Bar;' indicates that the item will appear in the bottom menu where 'INSTALLER' sits as default. Add 'Bar;' to 'Categories' for it to appear here.
