How to customize a link at your desktop in LINUX!

1. Find out where is the bash file for launching the program, usually in $INSTALL_DIR/bin/prog

if you have one, use it directly; if not, write one yourself as below(taking matlab as an example)

--------------------------matlab.sh----------------------
#!/bin/bash
cd /usr/local/matlab7/bin # this is where the executable file is

sudo ./matlab
----------------------------------------
change the mod to be executable
#chmod +x matlab.sh

2. Setup a desktop link, with the extension .desktop
#gedit /usr/share/applications/MATLAB.desktop
--------------------MATLAB.desktop---------------------
[Desktop Entry]
Name=LinuxMatlab

Comment=MATLAB For linux

Exec=/usr/local/matlab7/bin/matlab #or your matlab.sh here

Icon=/usr/local/matlab7/src/matlab.png # if you dont have one, try anything you like

Terminal=true #this is necessary for matlab

Type=Application

Categories=Application;
----------------------------------------------

3. Double click it to launch!
