Does anyone know where the desktop icons for launching flame are?
I have multiple versions installed and I’d to make it easier to identify the different versions
I used to have a photoshop template to create flame icons that had “2021.1” over the logo because I had the same issue.
On a mac, you can right-click on the flame version and select “show original”, which will take you to the actual application. Once there, you can comand-I to get the info window and paste whatever graphic you want over the Flame Icon.
I wish that when you hovered over the icon it would self identify with the version, but they all just say “Flame” and even went so far as to put in a feature request for that.
RockyLinux 9 does not have desktop icon display enabled by default. You need to manually enable the display of desktop icons using Gnome Tweaks and Extensions, and you need to copy the “Desktop” file of Flame to the/Home/User/Desktop directory. You can find the ‘desktop’ file for ‘flame’ by searching for it in/usr/share/applications.
You can also manually create and modify the “desktop” file of Flame, which is the desktop icon file of Flame, so that it can point to different Flame versions and display different Flame version numbers.
You could also make aliases for each version and launch them with a simple command from a terminal. That way you have added ability to consult system messages.
What’s a terminal?
There is a much easier way. Install dash to panel extension. It will add a bar to desktop, like kde, windows, or any normal desktop , for normal people, rather than GNOME CRAP. Usually, you have to disable dash to dock extension preinstalled, because does not make sense use both of them. You can combine it with arc-menu to get typical application button (and highly configurable) to find your applicattions, shutdown, user and usual stuff, better than the original DASH CRAP. And recover icons on desktop by using desktop icons NG (this version, there are a lot of incomplete extensions). You’ll be able to get icons, files, folders, alias, drag and copy, and even volumes mounted in mac’s way on your desktop. Then, just find your app in the applicattions menu, (or the original dash), right click and select “add to desktop” or “add to panel”.
Those three extensions are the first things I install to get rid of GNOME’s ridiculous way of doing things and try to have a functional, normal desktop.
If you are talking about Linux, they are in /usr/share/pixmaps/
Mac, no idea (back in the day all that used to be Resource Fork crap but I have no idea how they do icons now)
Someone said icons.
I thought they said AI cons.
I had another mini stroke.
