prcise 5.7.1

#1 Post by TIW »

Hi.
I have succeeded in installing Sylpheed to Precise 5.7.1 and noticed that there is a Sylpheed entry in the main Menu/Internet and under main Menu/Network but no pictures as with other applications.
Question a) > how can I place a picture there in Internet and b) how can I remove the Sylpheed entry under Network permanently ?
Thank you for your help.

Hi TIW,

In /usr/share/applications there should a file called sylpheed.desktop. Try right-clicking it then selecting "Open as Text".

For the Categories= line, try something like this:

Code: Select all

Categories=Email;
For the icon line, try something like this:

Code: Select all

Icon=sylpheed.png
Then save the file, and add the icon attached below into /usr/share/pixmaps folder.

Then run these two commands from Terminal/Console:

Code: Select all

fixmenus
jwm -restart
Hopefully this should now give you an updated menu with Sylpheed only in Internet and with an icon.
