Debian applications tab

Post by visser »

Hey all. i just installed debian onto my computer. its freaking sweet. So much to customize and tweak. a lot of fun. works fast and well none the less. ive got it running wine but the problem is that it wont put a new tab under thaaplications launcher drop down on the desktop. how do i add wine or other programs to that?

in this case im trying to get a utorrent launcher lol

You can just right click the menu and press "edit menu". And I can recommend a native Linux torrent client, that works better then Utorrent (at least under Linux)

Deluge.... :wink:

Code: Select all

right clicking and tehn hitting edit menu doesnt really do much. it just lets you pick what shows or not. and wine isnt under it. and its not anywhere to be found inside of that little window that pops up to help you edit it


ill def give that other torrent application a try tho!

Edit Menus -> New Item

Just add it manually....

Well you have to make sure that you have all the requirements for compiling it ^^

Also about adding it yourself, as I said "Right click -> Edit Menus -> New item" it's as easy as that =)

"wont compile for some reason" does not exist, you always get an error message at the point where compiling stops....post that output... :wink:
