HowTo: Launch a terminal app from a shortcut on Nokia N900 (Part 2)

This tutorial will show you how to add an icon to the topx shortcut in Part 1.

  1. Find/create a PNG image of dimension 48×48. (google this)
  2. Name the file topx.png
  3. Save file to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48×48/hildon/ (you will need root access)
  4. Modify the topx.desktop file to include the following line. The right side should be the name of file without the .png

Icon=topx

The topx.desktop now looks like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name=topx
Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm top
Icon=topx
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

Save topx.desktop and reboot to see the icon for the shortcut in the Application Menu. If the icon does not show up, install a couple of apps from the Application Manager. This should update the icon-cache and display it.
