How to add "desktop toolbox" menu entries?
« on: May 22, 2009, 10:39:16 PM »
Is there an explanation somewhere of how to manually add menu entries to the "desktop toolbox"? I tried adding a file Test to the .wmx/Tools folder with the contents of the "Top" tool as a test. I made it executable and it shows up in the menu but doesn't execute.

The menu structure f flwm is either links to scripts/programs or direct scripts.
I have several examples of each in the /home/tc/.wmx directory.

I'm trying to add a Remote Desktop button that runs my remote desktop script.

OK looks like I found the problem. My Test file did not have a Shabang header. Once I added that it worked fine.
