Add Program to Panel

#1 Post by Frank_v7 »

I just took the leap from Mepis 11 to MX 15 KDE. How do i add a program to the bottom panel, specifically Thunderbird. I like to put my most used programs there instead of using the KDE (Lancelot) launcher. :confused:

Solved! I just found the "old" KDE launcher menu! It's a widget!

I'll keep playing with it, but being based on KDE makes it a lot easier for me to learn! Thanks!

Keep in mind that Stevo had an excellent KDE remix available.

The other way is to find the .desktop launcher file for the program in /usr/share/applications, then drag and drop it onto the quicklaunch part of the panel (you'll see a "target" spot).

I probably should thank Stevo! I'm using his MX15-x64_KDE version. :clap:
