editing the unity dash main menu
I have indeed succeeded in adding but not to the sub menu Internet, only when I ask for all the application I can see its icon.
How can I edit the unity dash manually? Is there a text file for this? Some kind of folder content? I mean I used the app "main menu" and it add it the dash menu but not the Internet menu, even though the main menu app show it in the Internet menu. |

I have already seen it before. It don't solve my problem because it doesn't tell how to add icons to a specific category in the dash. ---------- Post updated at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous update was at 09:15 PM ---------- I think it has connection to the /usr/share/applications directory. I see there a lot of files with the extension .desktop. Maybe I should create such file for my script. Does anyone know the syntax of those files? |

well apparently the dash menu is not work like the menu in windows in which you have directory the resemble the sub-menus and link inside them that resemble the apps.
Instead there are files with the extension .desktop, the content of those files tell ubuntu in what sub-menus of the dash the app should be included. Desktop Entry Specification |
