How did you get the decks to have custom icons in the file manager?

(3 edits) (+4)

They're .desktop files! Essentially like shortcuts in Windows. So I can set the name and icon to be whatever I want them to be, as well as passing in extra parameters to Decker when I open it (so I can have them always open fullscreen). The actual .deck files live elsewhere.


So for example for the links to my zine I might have a file named issue1.desktop that contains this

[Desktop Entry]
Name=zine of millie, issue 1
Exec=decker --fullscreen "/home/milliesquilly/kioskfiles/zine/s1/zine of millie issue 1.deck"
Comment=
Terminal=false
Icon=/home/milliesquilly/kioskfiles/icons/zine.png
Type=Application
Name[en_AU]=zine of millie, issue 1
