Create a new text file called yourname.desktop in the \/home\/pi\/Desktop\/ directory, e.g. \/home\/pi\/Desktop\/yourname.desktop<\/p>\n
It should contain the following:<\/p>\n
\r\n[Desktop Entry]\r\nName=My Name\r\nComment=My application which does this\r\nIcon=\/usr\/share\/pixmaps\/openbox.xpm\r\nExec=\/usr\/bin\/leafpad\r\nType=Application\r\nEncoding=UTF-8\r\nTerminal=false\r\nCategories=None;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n <\/p>\n

Comment \u2013 Your comment<\/p>\n
Icon \u2013 A file to use for the icon. \u00a0Your own or have a look in the \/usr\/share\/pixmaps\/ directory for something suitable.<\/p>\n
Exec \u2013 The executable (can include sudo if your executable uses the IO). Can be the name of an executable program, or more complex, e.g. Exec=lxterminal \u2013command “less \/root\/README.TXT”<\/p>\n
Executing A Command In LX Terminal<\/h4>\n
The following will open LX terminal, wait\u00a0for 5 seconds and then it will close:<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\n[Desktop Entry]\r\nName=Name to be shown on desktop\r\nComment=My comment\r\nIcon=\/usr\/share\/pixmaps\/openbox.xpm\r\nExec=lxterminal -t \"Tile to display\" -e sleep 5\r\nType=Application\r\nEncoding=UTF-8\r\nTerminal=false\r\nCategories=None;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nLX Terminal will auto close once the command is complete. \u00a0You can’t give more than 1 command in the -e launch options (you can’t give it “-e dosomething ; sleep 5” for instance as a way to make it hold showing the result after dosomething.<\/p>\n
Stopping The LX Terminal Auto Closing Or Doing Multiple Things<\/h4>\n
The simple way to get round the Lxterminal only being able to take one command is to have it run a bash script.<\/p>\n
