Linux icon Topic is solved

[ianas]

after using it on windows I finally downloaded Basilisk for Linux
unfortunately Linux doesn't support icon resources embedded inside the app binary and I couldn't find the Basilisk icon as a png/svg inside the tar ball
I want to create a desktop file with an icon for Basilisk but without an icon I can't do that (the only icon present is icons/updater.png) can we get a basilisk icon inside the tar ball for Linux users?
ps a Basilisk.desktop file which we could copy to ~./local/share/applications so we can get a menu bar launcher would be nice too making one isn't difficult but we shouldn't really need to

edit
I've been searching for a small image (png/ico) that I can use as an icon in https://basilisk-browser.org/ but the only image there is
https://basilisk-browser.org/bas-logo-300w.png
which is not usable as an icon I can extract the icon from the windows binary but that's just too much work (and a reboot) any chance for a link to the icon used in the windows binaries?

The icon you're looking for is here, I believe:

****/basilisk/browser/icons/mozicon128.png

tanks for that I never would have found it

I unpacked Basilisk in ~/opt/basilisk
and this is the desktop file I created maybe some other user would find it helpful
I created a text file Basilisk.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications/

Code: Select all

kate ~/.local/share/applications/Basilisk.desktop

pasted this inside

Code: Select all

[Desktop Action PrivateBrowsing]

Exec=/home/<you>/opt/basilisk/basilisk --private-window %u

and saved it
if somebody uses this as a template they should replace <you> with your Linux user name
unfortunately neither $HOME nor ~ seam to work inside desktop files (I get an error the desktop file is invalid) so a generic launcher can not be created :/
