Hi there!
I'm slowly getting things figured out in antiX.
I have installed WINE. But I don't see anything that lets me make the usual GUI menus I see for it in Ubuntu-ish distros.
So, should you run WINE though the Terminal and or bash commands only?
Or is there some way of setting up GUI menus for WINE?
I tried looking through the command center to see if I could make an item with WINE in the personal menu, but I didn't see WINE in the list of available applications.
So, if there's some trick to running WINE via a personal menu entry, that would be cool to know.
I just don't want to mess about with it and cause problems for myself.
Thanks in advance.

If a CLI or GUI app does not have a .desktop file it does not appear in the list. It's pretty easy to get one into the Pesronal Menu, simply by using Menu Manager. The following video by dolphin_oracle shows how to handle both cases see about 7:35 and 9:00 minutes respectively from the start of the video.
As shipped, Personal Menu lists only programs for which a .desktop launcher file currently exists.M_Mynaardt wrote:...to see if I could make an item with WINE in the personal menu, but I didn't see WINE in the list of available applications.
