Menu Entries and Icons are provided by a .desktop file stored at

/usr/local/share/applications

The .desktop file must have the same base name as the application package. (e.g. the desktop file for homebank.tcz must be named homebank.desktop)

These are added to the submenu “Applications”, which is empty by default. Entries are created automatically by the system at the time the extension is loaded. In order to have a menu entry the .desktop file needs, at the least, these two lines

Name=

followed on the same line by the name you want to appear in the menu, and

Exec=

followed on the same line by the

directory provided by the extension.

Icons are shown in the wbar, which can be positioned on any edge of the screen (bottom by default).

The icon should be a 48×48 PNG, and defined in the .desktop file by

X-FullPathIcon=

field. Proper directory to store icon is

/usr/local/share/pixmaps/

For example icon for Opera10 defined as

/usr/local/share/pixmaps/opera10.png

Please note, that X-FullPathIcon= field is not part of the .desktop file provided by applications; it is TC specific and must be added by extension creator.
