|
|
|
application looks like this: <strong class="userinput"><code><strong class="command">foo</strong>
|
|
|
|
<code class="option">... %i %m -caption \"%c\"</code></code></strong>. Pretty confusing,
|
|
|
|
-but it has been designed in that way so that it can integrate legacy,
|
|
|
|
non-TDE applications as smoothly as possible. Konqueror, when executing
|
|
|
|
the line above, will extend the command to
|
|
|
|
<strong class="userinput"><code><strong class="command"><em class="replaceable"><code>foo</code></em></strong> <code class="option">-icon
|
|
|
|
something.png -miniicon something_mini.png -caption \"The
|
|
|
|
Foo\"</code></code></strong>. Both the icon and the mini-icon as well as "The
|
|
|
|
Foo" are properties defined in the <code class="filename">.desktop</code> file. If
|
|
|
|
the icons are not defined, they simply default to the executable name
|
|
|
|
<em class="replaceable"><code>foo</code></em>.</p><p>This way a user can change these things in KMenuEdit for his or her
|
|
|
|
applications. The <code class="option">-caption</code> option is important, because no
|
|
|
|
user will accept that the menu item Editor starts
|
|
|
|
something called kedit-0.9pl4-build47. Instead, users
|
|
|
|
expect a window called Editor. Furthermore these
|
|
|
|
names are localized, i.e. an American English user launches
|
|
|
|
CD-Player and gets a window called
|
|
|
|
CD-Player while a German user launches
|
|
|
|
CD-Spieler and gets a window called
|
|
|

CD-Spieler.</p></td></tr><tr class="question"><td align="left" valign="top"><a name="idm140487998095152"></a><a name="idm140487998094832"></a><b>8.9.</b></td><td align="left" valign="top"><p>How do I make Konqueror start up without a menu bar?
