Good afternoon Jeremy,
This worked for me........
Create the following directory structure
~/.local/share/applications
Create 2 text files in that applications directory
Call one of them DecoderPro.desktop and the other one PanelPro.desktop
The following is the contents of my DecoderPro.desktop file. The PanelPro.desktop file is very similar.
[Desktop Entry]
Name=DecoderPro
Comment=Launch DecoderPro
Terminal=false
Icon=/home/timk/JMRI/resources/decoderpro.gif
Type=Application
Exec=/home/timk/JMRI/DecoderPro
Replace /home/timk with whatever your home directory is
All of my JMRI is installed in /home/timk/JMRI so you may need to change that.
You may need to logout and log back in again before you will see the icons. they will appear on the far left hand side of the screen
These files may be dependent on what display manager you are using. I think I'm using gnome but I'm not really totally sure.
Hope this works for you.
Tim
