when using Ubuntu, we can add a "Main Menu" item to the panel
Where to add / modify the menu items? Here we go!
In fact that the items of Main Menu are stored under /usr/share/applications , here we will try to add a laucher of eclipse for example.
sudo vim
/
usr
/
share
/
applications
/
eclipse.desktop
In the file, add these code:
[Desktop Entry]
Name = Eclipse
Comment = c project manage software
Exec =/ opt / eclipse / eclipse
Icon =/ opt / eclipse / icon.xpm
Terminal = false
Type = Application
Categories = GNOME;GTK;Office;Eclipse;
Name = Eclipse
Comment = c project manage software
Exec =/ opt / eclipse / eclipse
Icon =/ opt / eclipse / icon.xpm
Terminal = false
Type = Application
Categories = GNOME;GTK;Office;Eclipse;
Then you will see the icon under the Office now!
