mb-applet-launcher(1)					      General Commands Manual					     mb-applet-launcher(1)

NAME

       mb-applet-launcher - an application launcher panel applet

SYNOPSIS

       mb-applet-launcher [options] [action] image_file application

DESCRIPTION

       mb-applet-launcher  is  a panel applet which can be used to start a given application. The applet displays the PNG or XPM file given on the
       command line as an icon, and when the user clicks on the icon the application is started.

       Matchbox is a base environment for the X Window System running on non-desktop embedded platforms such as handhelds, set-top  boxes,  kiosks
       and anything else for which screen space, input mechanisms or system resources are limited.

OPTIONS

       -display display
	      X display to connect to

       --title title

       --no-animation
	      Disable any animations

       --start, -s
	      Start application immediately

       The default action is to iconize/uniconize the selected application. Other actions can be specified as command-line options:

       --kill, -k
	      Destroy the application

       --respawn, -l
	      Respawn multiple instances of the application

       --message, -m
	      Display output from the application as a message from the panel

       Alternatively, a valid .desktop file can be given:

       --desktop .desktop_file
	      Any  actions  given with this option will have no effect. Similar behaviour can be achieved by including a `SingleInstance=True' key
	      pair in the .desktop file.
