icon shotcut

[dzon65]

I was wondering if it's possible to activate the window switcher (not sure if this is the wright word,used to Dutch,it's the application like 3D flip in vista) by clicking an icon instead of clicking a button.If so,how do I put it in the panel?

What's the difference between "button" and "icon" ( in panel ) ?
On the desktop, create a new shortcut, set it's icon, add command & finally, drag-n-drop to your panel.

Sure.But how to add a compiz application?How to add for example the cube application to the panel? For now I start this "3D flip"-effect by clicking the F1.How can I add this key binding to the panel? AND,keep it there.All url shortcuts disappear after rebooting,hope this one stays.That is,if it's possible to add that kind of shortcut to the panel.

in terminal:
sudo apt-get install xautomation
mkdir ~/bin
gedit ~/bin/3d-flip

put:

#!/bin/sh
xte 'key F1'

make it executable:
chmod +x ~/bin/3d-flip

now log out & back in

create your launcher & put "3d-flip" for the command.

I tried but it didn't work.Tried 3D-flip and (in dutch "schuifwisselaar").None worked,file doesn't exist.

Run PATH=/home/<username>/bin:$PATH, then try again.

[kerry_s]

then you didn't do it right.

did you install the "xautomation" program?
did you create the "bin" folder?
etc...

it's simple really, just copy & paste.

[kerry_s]

Run PATH=/home/<username>/bin:$PATH, then try again.

~/bin is added to the path if it exists automatically, that's why the log out & back in.

Kerry.I think the problem is "3d-flip".The code is probably wright,but not 3-D flip.It's called like that in vista.I couldn't find the word in English.On my pc it's called Schuif wisselaar.In compiz config some applications have english names,others dutch ones.

No use,tried several times.xautomation's installed,bin is made and executable but gives same error,"file doesn't exist".
