Hey, guys! How do i get myself *.desktop icons on rox-icewm desktop?
caprea
Hi, you can drag and drop everything from /usr/share/applications
or also /usr/share/applications/antixto the desktop
Use rox-filer or spacefm.
Afterwards you can rename the icon by right-click > change entryPPC

Caprea showed you a general answer… If you are clueless on how to do common Operating system tasks, like adding icons to the desktop, toolbar, changing the wallpaper, etc, there’s a thread that can help you, just search the forum or the brand new Wiki site – the way to do most common tasks are explained. Particularly in your case:
https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/short-essential-how-to-list-for-the-complete-linux-newbie/#post-37485What Caprea meant by “use rox-filer or spacefm” that you should use the file manager that manages your desktop icons. If your desktop starts by “rox… ” (the default is rox-icewm), use rox to copy the .desktop files to your desktop. If your desktop starts by “Space…”, then use SpaceFM to add the icons… Please note that this has nothing to do with your default file manager- you can use a Rox managed desktop and prefer to have Spacefm as your default file manager (or vice-versa)…
Newbies, please search the forum before asking something- most questions are already answered – it’s way faster to search the forum than wait for someone to reply to you…

rox does so much, has so many features (and I seldom use drag-drop environment) so I periodically 2x speed skim tutorials like this to re-remember forgotten detailsit’s way faster
for tutorials, we have available a wonderful selection of videos produced by dolphin_oracle
Searching youtube just now, for “rox desktop”, shows 2 of his videos atop the search resultsRox-filer – Options, options, and more options (23min)
