TODO: Merge with Customize Application Icons. MinhHaDuong 07:31, 27 October 2008 (UTC) (See: To-Do List)

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;

Set icons to appear in the low menu

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.
