If you need to create a custom application launcher on the main menu in Ubuntu, then this tutorial will help you do that. Some applications you may want to use will probably not be on the menu, and you must create a launcher from the application menu to always launch it.
Getting started:
To get started, go to System –> Main Menu.
Then select where you want to launcher to appear, and click ‘New Item’
Type the launcher name, and the command for the application and click OK. The command for Gnome Control Center is:
/usr/bin/gnome-control-center
Notice a new application launcher is created under ‘Other item on the menu list.
Launch it and enjoy!
Command to launch common applications in Ubuntu can be found in the /usr/bin directory. If you don’t know the command for an application, then click the ‘Browse’ button and browse to the /usr/bin directory to find it.
Thanks for reading and please come back soon.
How can I add things to the right-most panel? I cannot add anything to the right of that little division mark.
Thanks in advace for any comments.
Select the 'division mark' and move it to the left to create more room to add stuff.
