Step 1: A trivial application

To make gnome-shell use the desktop file and icon for this example
while running it uninstalled, do the following:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications
sed -e "s#@bindir@#$PWD#" org.gtk.exampleapp.desktop \
  > ~/.local/share/applications/org.gtk.exampleapp.desktop

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps
cp exampleapp.png ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps
Refresh the tutorial examples Redo this series of examples from 2013, and adapt it to modern way of doing things. The biggest differences are that we use a headerbar right from the start, and don't mention the app menu. Fixes: #2730 2020-05-11 01:26:19 +00:00			`Step 1: A trivial application`

Getting started: Add icon and desktop file Setting up the icon and desktop file is a pretty central part of making an application work, so we should do it for our example. The fact that the examples are uninstalled makes this a little more complicated. 2013-07-24 03:16:54 +00:00			`To make gnome-shell use the desktop file and icon for this example`
