If you're using the AppImage version, you can integrate it into your desktop environment:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a desktop entry file:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Create `~/.local/share/applications/creamlinux.desktop` with the following content (adjust the path to your AppImage):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[Desktop Entry]
|
|
Name=Creamlinux
|
|
Exec=/absolute/path/to/CreamLinux.AppImage
|
|
Icon=/absolute/path/to/creamlinux-icon.png
|
|
Type=Application
|
|
Categories=Game;Utility;
|
|
Comment=DLC Manager for Steam games on Linux
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Update your desktop database so creamlinux appears in your app launcher:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications
