Changin Icons in LXDE
I have a really old (about 11 years) PC originally equipped with Win98 with a Intel Celeron processor. Since switching to Linux, its always been faster than it was with windoze, but I've always been looking for faster and comprehensive.
After dozens of distros (only a few which I used as my day to day) and several years I feel like I'm falling in love with Debian running the LXDE desktop. Pretty, reasonably fast, and not a lot of crap I don't need. And has helped fall back in love with the command prompt and writing some easy scripts after almost a year on Xubuntu. Anyway only a couple things specific to LXDE that I'm yet to figure out. One, is there anyway to change the desktop icon for the home directory. By default its a house, fine, but its name MY DOCUMENTS. Gag me with a spoon! Holy Windows redirect Batman! If I could name it HOME I'd be fine (the directory itself is /home/jim). Everything I've read just says "no its build in the source" well how do I edit the source! The other, which may be easier said than done as well is two fold. If I write new scripts to launch programs and place these on my desktop (i.e. desktop shortcuts) is there anyway to change this icon to anything other than a gear, whether it be a specified .ico, .png, .gif, whatever. Secondly is there anyway to add your own "shortcuts" in the LXDE (START) menu? |

Holy Crap! I have never seen such a useful, thoughtful, quick response on any forum in a long time! (At the very least not since I stopped using Mandravia back in 2007.1)
