[Desktop Entry]Name=IntelliJ Idea
Comment=IDE
Exec=/home/user/Programs/IntelliJ\ Idea/bin/idea.sh
Icon=/home/user/Programs/IntelliJ Idea/bin/idea.svg
Type=Application
Categories=Development;
basically
[Desktop Entry]Name=<Name that will be seen in the start menu for whatever DE>
Comment=<Just write anything here>
Exec=<Your executable or shell application location goes here>
Icon=<Any icon you want to use>
Type=Application <this is default, no change here>
Categories=Development; <There are many categories, they go here>
For ‘Exec’ and ‘Icon’, type the absolute path for both em like the example. As for categories, here they are below:
I already have a normal desktop file like yours. I don’t see how replacing it with yours would provide any benefit as the execution arguments are all the same. I guess you won’t be able to help me then.
That sample text file, you can save it in the “Template” folder in your home folder, and then you can create a new file from that template with the right click menu > new entry :)
I’d recommend converting to Kotlin, which saves a lot on bureaucracy and IntelliJ can easily do

Also, how’d you get the IntelliJ titlebar to work properly? In the new theme, I get two title bars on my machine.
I’d love to, but my mind, time, and energy is being spent on other studies.
Didn’t work, no new option appears after following the steps.
Easy, I made a .desktop file for IntelliJ and boom, no double title bars.
Hmm, why the bold?
Maybe try https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47235022/add-a-custom-option-in-nautilus-right-click-menu ?
What did you put in the .desktop file?
to distinguish the quote from my reply
Will do, i’ll reply if it’ll work or not.
I put the following:-
