I launched this from terminal. Screen shot to show. No0 desktop entry for putting in personal menu so edit menu has to be done by editing text file.
Somebody else can show how to put this launcher in the task bar.

lxtask sits in /usr/bin/lxtask.

Edit. Downloaded a .png icon for task-manager from google images. Renamed it task_manager.png.
Opened antiX control center in menu and picked edit icewm settings.
picked toolbar in geany taskbar

Here is what I added to my toolbar
prog "Task Manager" ~/Icons/task_manager.png /usr/bin/lxtask

Hit logout on menu and pic restart icewm. Walla. My new icon shows in taskbar. I click it. Task manager shows up.
That is my edit. Other members may show you a better one.

Rokytnji,

Try clicking the CPU monitor next to the clock. By default it runs LXTask.

So it does. Now I have 2 launchers for a app I don’t use. @ augusteBurin. Be sure and tell the wife.

hello augusteBurin and everyone
notify-send --icon clock --expire-time 12822 ebb "<b><i>EMAIL</i> LOADING</b> \nbrowser and office <i>too</i> \n <u><b>Hello <i>Mrs</i></b></u> \n antiX "
When that is run in terminal it gives message result formatted. tags inside second quote set.

<notify-send>
In icewm menu is different evaluation does not proceed read the tags. in icewm /toolbar sample, this comparable message works without the tags. (?)
prog "MRS" /usr/share/icons/antix-papirus/livewallpaper.png desktop-defaults-run -b &thunderbird &soffice &notify-send --icon clock --expire-time 12822 ebb "EMAIL LOADING \\nbrowser and office too \\n Hello Mrs \\n antiX "

Hello again, more fun coming:
In response to PPC’s solution that works fine for firefox:
putting this in /home/Assangejulian/.icewm/toolbar
prog "Web Browser" /usr/share/icons/papirus-antix/48x48/apps/web-browser.png desktop-defaults-run -b & yad --text=" Attendez une seconde " --mouse --no-buttons --timeout=2 --timeout-indicator=top --undecorated --skip-taskbar
works fine
but not this:

prog "mail" /usr/share/icons/papirus-antix/48x48/categories/thunderbird.png /usr/bin/thunderbird & yad --text=" Les mails arrivent " --mouse --no-buttons --timeout=2 --timeout-indicator=top --undecorated --skip-taskbar
prog "LibreOffice Writer " /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/libreoffice-writer.png libreoffice --writer & yad --text=" Ne vounervez pas " --mouse --no-buttons --timeout=2 --timeout-indicator=top --undecorated --skip-taskbar

in fact, nothing happens at all.

Nevertheless it is OK without the “& yad” etc. like this: prog "mail" /usr/share/icons/papirus-antix/48x48/categories/thunderbird.png /usr/bin/thunderbird

Also, this command in terminal goes fine:
/usr/bin/thunderbird & yad --text=" Les mails arrivent " --mouse --no-buttons --timeout=2 --timeout-indicator=top --undecorated --skip-taskbar

I must say I am disappointed, I thought I started to understand.
But you guys , you know what is going on, don’t you?

And for all other nice litterature in this feed, I’m sorry to say I have not yet had time to study the meaning and how to realize what is proposed.

Ile just provided some very useful examples, adding even more features to my original suggestion.
Maybe the ideal, for your wife could be having an icon to launch Writer + Thunderbird + Firefox, all in one go (You can automatically launch those apps every time you start your system- but it would delay system start time by a lot- example- you only want to check the weather via a web page- then you would suffer loading Thunderbird and Writer… It’s better just to start your system normally and then have the user clicking the desired app(s) to be launched or have a “launch all 3 favorites: Writer, Email, Internet browser” in a single button…

Hello augusteBurin
Outside of libreoffice for a Character Map
you install <gucharmap> Character Map.

Launch Partner quicker, companion, favorite app to Notice feedback litter of quicker apps
combined during longer loading apps.
printer status works withou “jobs” as (?)
<system-config-printer –show all>
or
<gtklpq>
In notify, the add-placemark icon is a plusmark of green.
A quicker app is notice; the longer loading app is thunderbird in this sample icewm /toolbar

prog "partner" add-placemark bash -c 'galculator&gucharmap&system-config-printer --show-jobs all&thunderbird&thunderbird --compose&qpdfview ~/.icons/ROX/MIME/application-pdf.png &exit'
