i want to create a desktop launcher for multiple programs and save it to everyones users desktop
i want to create a launcher panel with multiple icons for programs like firefox, chrome, libre office etc etc and when they click on the disired program it opens up the program
a desktop that is setup to allow you to do such a thing. maybe one of them fancy Window 10 looking ones.
It be best that you figure out how to do it on one then move up to figuring out how to "port" it to very ones desktop. they'd all have to have the same desktop, unless you figure out how to program and write a program to take care of this and create it so that it can be installed on any linux desktop, or at least a few of them.
but for the most part, lxde, xfce, mate, ones such as that you could set up launchers for apps off of the taskbar.
Then their is the taskbar itself, tint2, and xfce4-panel and I am sure others in here know of a few more that hold such capabilities.
A script should work. Only one way to know for sure
Maybe try a dock such as Cairo Dock or Docky, these are very customisable. I imagine a person could copy the config data for such a dock to multiple computers.
im just copying the folder application to the users desktop and i have soft linked the scripts as they reside in a different place so when i change the scripts it will make the changes to all the users aswell
i just want to use this simple method but its not working as i planed
but when my users in terminal do -
cd /home/userwhatever/Desktop/applications/
then they run it -
./firefox.sh
it works but the whole idea is i want them to double click the file to run it and not via terminal
