I was able to create an icon that launched Firefox, and had a Firefox icon that could be dragged anywhere with the right mouse button.Jerry3904 wrote: Sun Feb 02, 2020 7:56 am This thread seems to be running out of steam...

Could someone who doesn't already know it please do a bit of testing on MX-idesktool? A lot of work went into that app and we would like to see how users respond.

I didn't find it totally intuitive, but would have no trouble repeating it for other things.
Sorry, but which icon? The Help one with the question marks?I didn't like the default icon text colour
The creation tool 'Left click command'. The layout of that pane is odd; Between the first line beginning NOTE, and the second line beginning runs, there seems to be too much space, so the second line looks like it is referring to the text entry box for the left-click command. It's like a carriage return is in the wrong place. If that spacing could be revised it would be clearer. Also, perhaps the wording for that text entry box could be something like 'Application to run'?
No, the text that appears under the created icon. It's a sort of kingfisher blue by default.Jerry3904 wrote: Sun Feb 02, 2020 9:55 amSorry, but which icon? The Help one with the question marks?I didn't like the default icon text colour
