I installed Nixnote on Ubuntu 12.04, locked the icon to my launcher, and set a custom icon via /usr/share/applications/nixnote.desktop.
When I copy nixnote.desktop to ~/.config/autostart/, Nixnote shows up in my startup applications list with the proper icon. When I log off then log back on, Nixnote launches automatically (as it should).
Hi
I've got a Java application, it's a JNLP file, that I start by clicking an icon on my 12.04 desktop. Is there any way I can move the icon to the Unity launcher? When I try to drag it onto the launcher, it just pops back onto the desktop.

One can autostart an application such that it launches on session start with an xdg desktop file in ~/.config/autostart (or /etc/xdg/autostart).
But my application (a python/gtk/webkit/html5 app) when autostarted has a unity (and a unity-2d) launcher icon that is a gray question mark, even though:
when I find it in dash, the dash shows the icon I specify in my main desktop file (in /usr/share/a
I installed alacarte and used that to try and add an application launcher for Sublime Text, but I got an error half way through. Now I've got a launcher in my menu that links to a non existent file, without an icon. It doesn't show up in alacarte, and I searched in /usr/share/applications and it doesn't show up there. I cannot find any reference to it on my computer, yet still it's there.
A utility for organizing related items for easy launching from the Unity launcher. Drawers creates a launcher favorite for the Unity launcher panel that can contain any combination of files, applications, web links or directories. Just drop a file on the launcher or open drawer and it will be added. Left-clicking the launcher "opens a drawer" with an icon view of each item for launching.
Hi,
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and I have noticed a strange behaviour of the launcher.
It's a hardly any trouble but I still want to ask in case anyone knows.
I like to keep my Launcher clean with just two or three most common applications pinned. The strange behaviour is that new applications that are not pinned in the Launcher always open up at the position just above bottom pinned one.
I have 3 android applications. One main application call other 2 applications (main application will be interface for other 2 applications). I would like to have only one icon of this main app. I have 3 applications they can be downloaded separately. Now I need the other applications to check if the main application is installed. If not, download and install main app.
Is there a way to customize a Lucid Lynx Launcher icon for various programs? There does not seem to be a way to do this using Create Launcher or Launcher properties. The application is not actually "installed" on the PC, the executable has just been copied.
