Setting Menus, Icons, and Filetypes on Linux

VE-Suite comes with a vesuiteConfig.sh script to set up menus, icons, and filetypes for VE-Suite on Linux desktop systems. The script works for Gnome 2.8+ and KDE.

To run it, go to its directory and enter ./vesuiteConfig.sh, followed by the arguments. The script accepts these arguments:

  1. --gnome or --kde: Sets Gnome or KDE as a primary desktop. If you do not provide either argument, Gnome will be chosen as the default primary desktop.

  2. --both: Installs on both Gnome and KDE. --gnome or --kde still needs to be provided to set the primary desktop, because on most dual-desktop systems, one desktop inherits some preferences from the other.

  3. --user or --global: Sets the installations to either user-only or all-users. If you do not provide either argument, all-users will be chosen if you have root access. Otherwise, only the current user (user-only) is chosen.

  4. --uninstall: Uninstalls the setup defined by the other arguments on the command line. For example, --gnome --global --uninstall would uninstall the setup created by providing --gnome --global.
