I installed Waterfox from their website and I wanted to add it to the app menu. For this I created a desktop file in /usr/share/applications:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Waterfox
TryExec=/home/mateus/Downloads/waterfox-G4.1.2.en-US.linux-x86_64/waterfox/waterfox
Exec=/home/mateus/Downloads/waterfox-G4.1.2.en-US.linux-x86_64/waterfox/waterfox %u
Icon=waterfox
Terminal=false
I added different keys to see if I can fix the problem, but initially I had only Type, Name, Exec, and Icon. When I search, Waterfox appears, I can use it without any problem, I can even pin it to my panel. But the app is nowhere to be found in the app menu. I looked in all the pages and it's not here. Why?
Also, I restarted the pc several times, so that can't be the problem.
I don't know if it's relevant, but I use Garuda Linux.
Now that I look at it, Firefox and Firedragon are not appearing in the app menu either even though there are accessible by search.
What I'm doing wrong? Shouldn't the .desktop file create an entry in the app menu?

I created a Safari Web Extension using the script that generates the project from a Chrome extension.
My users are confused by the process of buying the app and then running it which just opens a window that does nothing (they keep asking for refunds saying the app doesn't work). So I want to add some more text into the app window that tells them they have to look for the extension in Safari.
I can see how to add the text in the html file called "Main". But in my Mac app this means that the content no longer fits within the apps window. I'm trying to figure out how to change the size of the app window.
Also, the script generates a Mac app with a help menu but it just says that help is not available. How do I go about adding some help to explain that this App does nothing and that the extension is in Safari?
It seems like the script does a lot of the work for you but you still have to learn a bit about developing an App (rather than an extension) to make it a polished experience.
I made an app for Chrome OS that launches a Crouton program in a window using xiwi. I would like to make the app automatically change the Crouton window's icon so I can know which app is what. I tried using chrome.browserAction.setIcon (which changes the icon in the toolbar) as well as adding an 'icon' entry to chrome.windows.create (which didn't work), but that still didn't work. I found that using chrome.app.window.create with the 'icon' entry works, but the Crouton extension is not an app. Is is possible to change the icon of a Chrome extension's window programmatically?
I wrote a simple Google Apps script and published it in the Chrome Web Store as an app (I guess "hosted" app. You can find the link here: http://bit.ly/1JTiKLC). I followed the instructions mentioned here:
https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/distribute-web-app
I specified all the required items in the checklist, AFAIK, including icons of the required size. The item is listed and I can download it. However, when it is added in the Chrome desktop launcher, it has the default "apps script" blue icon:
I want to change this but can't find any way to do so. The link above specifies that there is a way to do this for a new tab page (sec. Updating a web app's icon on the New Tab Page). First of all, I cannot see any link that says "specify an alternative image" anywhere as they say. Could someone elaborate on this. Secondly, is there a similar way to change the launcher icon for apps script webapps?
Ok, I found it. Here's the info for someone else who may have the same question: The link appears in the window just after you click "Publish>Register in Chrome Web Store..." in the apps script editor itself. It's not there in the developer dashboard. You can host the image publicly on any site which provides direct links, like imgur.
This will change the icon in the Chrome new page tab (or in "chrome://apps/") as well as the desktop launcher. Cheers :)
Does anyone know, where Win 8.1 gets the icons, used in the dialog, from?
In my case an app icon is corrupted (instead of mine, another app icon is used for my app), and I want to debug the issue. But for that I have to know, where is a source of the icons.
I've already inspected my .exe file resources, there is no other icons there but mine.
It turns out, that when an app is registering itself as matching some user's model, it should set the logo and background color. See AppUserModelId (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd378459%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) for details.
I'm looking at the spotify apps api. When I try to open the inspector it says "Please select the app to inspect". Selecting or loading an app does not help, I always get this message, on any app. I have a developer account and am using version 0.8.10.2.g1283206d, I also tried older versions. I'm on Windows 7. Did anyone get this error? Am I missing something?
You can not inspect other peoples apps. It only seems to work on apps you have loaded from your local machine.
I had the same problem but found a solution
So apparently it works for me, if you right-click the open application and hit "Show Inspector". After that, it works to hit show inspector from the top menu bar as well. However as soon as you go to another app at switch back to your local app, you're once again not able to hit "show inspector" from the top menu bar. Seems like there is a bug in the interface.
Try right-clicking the app itself and choosing "Show Inspector" from the pop-up menu you get.
