antix-13-Full comes with some useful interactive CLI apps that have no GUI menu entries. How about placing entries directly into ~/.icewm/menu in the"Terminal Apps" section for two such apps? This is probably better than trying to use a .desktop file which cannot put them in that section.
Examples:
CDW
A reliable CD/DVD burner.
Multimedia Sub-Section
prog"CD/DVD Writer" /usr/share/icons/antiX/cd-dvd-writer.png roxterm -e cdw
Resized/renamed icon obtained from

====================================
Calcurse
A calendar, diary and to-do list.
Office Sub-Section
prog"Organizer" /usr/share/icons/antiX/organizer.png roxterm --color-scheme=GTK -e calcurse
Resized/renamed icon obtained from

====================================
Edited to place each app in correct sub-section.

One time I created a desktop file for mp3blaster, which then enabled me to easily add it to the"Sound and Video" menu. The same could be done for any comman line app I guess. You just have to include
in the desltop file.
Code: Select all
Terminal=true
