GNOME Menu Launcher

Sometimes it's nice to do small cosmetics to the GUI.
If you use a GUI it's because you value convenience, at least.

This time I'll just write down the easy setup of a GNOME Launcher as an item of the Main Menu, such as in the following example for NetBeans 8.1:

To set up that:
  • Go to System | Preferences | Main Menu.
  • Select Applications | Developer Tools.
  • Click on the + New Item button.
  • Fill in the blanks and choose an icon.
  • Finish by clicking the Close button (of course!)
For instance:











 

When finished you'll see the newly configured menu item representing the launcher as per your above settings. It's just that simple!
