Kicker

Launchers

You can change the default launchers that get added to Kicker on first start by modifying the file $TDEPREFIX/share/apps/kicker/default-apps.

In that file, each line contains a reference to a desktop file. By default a Home button and a Konqueror launcher are placed there. You can add launchers for any applications you want as long as their desktop files are located under $TDEPREFIX/share/appplications/.

As an example, the following modified default-apps will add the Home and the Help buttons, as well as an Amarok, a LibreOffice Writer and a VLC launcher.

Home.desktop
Help.desktop
amarok.desktop
libreoffice-writer.desktop
vlc.desktop
