Linux Icons
A quick note on how to add icons to menus in a Linux desktop.
- Create the icon image in:
/usr/share/pixmaps
. - png and svg (and maybe others) are supported. - 24x24 seems to be a good size for menus. - You need to create a
.desktop
file in/usr/share/applications
. - Desktop menu specification - Registered categories
User desktop files:
- These are located in:
-
$HOME/.local/share/applications
- Icons can be found here:
-
$HOME/.local/icons
- I am not sure about this one - Autostart files:
-
$HOME/.config/autostart
.
