I create my own launcher in usr/share/applications. The icons appear only in the folder but on menu is not set. Any help is appreciate. Thanks in advance!
I already went to control center to show applications and refresh the menu and nothing! Only my icons disappeared (not offical)- This topic was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by angel7. Reason: plus information

To achieve a “as seen in Unity desktop” icon-centric menu, you could compile and install “xlunch”
http://xlunch.org/
https://github.com/Tomas-M/xlunch
or
“nwg-launchers”, described here:
https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/icewm-light-rebonito/note:
.desktop launchers reside in multiple directories ~~ most notably /usr/share/applications/antix/ (and ~/.local/share/applications) ~~ and the “iconic menu” programs may not check these other directories.angel7
at time to compile is missing file like “imlib2.h”
ha! now I remove the comments and show another error:xlunch.c:2771:21: error: unknown type name ‘Imlib_Font’ Imlib_Font font = load_prompt_font();after upgrade my own icons disapeared!

Tomas provides suitable instructions right on the xlunch page at github
but
the instructions aren’t noticeable until you scroll down…https://github.com/Tomas-M/xlunch
For Ubuntu and other Debian-based distros, do:
sudo apt install libimlib2-dev libx11-dev
after upgrade my own icons disapeared!
while xlunch is running, it covers the root window (aka “desktop”)
Guess what ~~ when I tested xlunch, I fell into this same trap!
You can press Ctrl+Alt+F6 to momentrily change to an alternative virtual console
then (login and) run: killall xlunch
then Ctrl+Alt+F7 to return to viewing your ongoing desktop session.
.
read read read the xlunch manpage.
It has many configurable options.
Unless you are setting up a kiosk environment for someone, you will probably want to avoid the
“oops, I’m blocked from seeing my normal desktop” result.You will want use a custom launch string like
xlunch -b -r -z
(that’s just a made-up example, i don’t have it in front of me)
instead of plain old “xlunch”

Hello @ angel7,
Do you want the two shortcut icons in the usr/share/applications folder to be displayed in the menus/submenu in their respective categories? If I understand correctly the translation of your words to pt-BR I think it is with the command in the terminal:
$ sudo desktop-menu –write-out-global
As was taught in some topics, such as the Trash/Recycling.
If not, please disregard what I wrote.

Olá @angel7,
Por acaso você quer que os dois ícones de atalho que estão na pasta usr/share/applications, sejam exibidos nos menus/submenu em suas respectivas categorias? Se eu entendi corretamente a tradução das suas palavras para pt-BR eu acho que é com o comando no terminal:
$ sudo desktop-menu –write-out-global
Como foi ensinado em alguns tópicos, como por exemplo no tópico da Lixeira/Reciclagem.
Se não for nada disso, por favor desconsidere o que eu escrevi.
