I am a major noob, I hear you get a lot of those around here ;) I looked around the forum for a while without finding this topic so I made an account just to ask the question. I also didn't really know which forum to post it in, so I apologize if someone ends up having to move it.
Well I created a text file with the following code and then made it executable using the "properties" tool in the drop-down menu:
"
cd /home/tux
java -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
"
As you may have noticed, it is just a simple shortcut to open Minecraft. As it is an executable, the icon has an image of a shiny silver gear, but I want to change it to the Minecraft icon.
I've opened up the icon viewer and found where all the icon .png's are stored. I also noticed that the executable is considered to be an "application-x-executable" mimetype (if you could also explain what a mimetype is that would be useful ;))
So I suppose my question is, is there some way to make a custom mimetype, assign my desired icon to it, and then change my shortcut to that mimetype?
-OR-
Am I missing something entirely and this is all really very simple?
