SYNOPSIS

9        $ICEWM_PRIVCFG/toolbar
10        $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/icewm/toolbar
11        $HOME/.icewm/toolbar
12        /etc/icewm/toolbar
13        /usr/share/icewm/toolbar

DESCRIPTION

16       The toolbar file is responsible for configuring quick launch
17       application icons that are placed on the icewm(1) panel.  It contains
18       names of quick to launch applications with icons for the task bar.
19       Each non-empty non-comment line starts with the keyword prog.  After
20       one or more spaces follows a name, which is displayed in a tool tip
21       whenever the mouse cursor hovers over the toolbar icon.  This name may
22       be a double quoted string.  Then follows the bare name of the icon to
23       use without extensions.  This icon will be shown in the toolbar.  The
24       last component is a shell command line which will be executed whenever
25       the user presses the icon in the toolbar.  For example, the following
26       line in toolbar will create a button with tool tip "Mozilla Firefox"
27       with the firefox icon which launches firefox(1) when clicked:
28
29           prog  "Mozilla Firefox"  firefox  /usr/bin/firefox --private-window
