Hi. Just installed latest Sparky LXqt desktop.
I want to add icons to the panel at the bottom of the screen to make launching apps easier. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it.
Going to Manage Widgets, the quick launcher is listed. I highlight quick launcher and click on configure, which is grayed out. Of course, nothing happens.
There has to be a way to add quick launch items to the bottom panel. Can someone help me with this? Thanks.
Did you try right clicking the panel -

I was hoping someone would post and enlighten you and me. seppalta - that is an LXDE page. I have a 3 paragraph reply about how to do it in plank (it ain't easy) and how to add widgets, but none of those address your question. Please try freenode irc #lxde where lxqt is discussed or look for bug reports at https://github.com/LXDE/lxqt/issues. Hopefully someone else will chime in. pece out
Thanks. And yes, I've tried right-clicking the panel. I get far enough to see the quick launch entry, but the button to modify it is grayed out.
I do hope they get this fixed soon. It's very irritating.
Thanks again.
I also installed Sparky 4.5.4 with LXQt.
To add a quick launcher icon:
1. right click on menu
2. Manage Widgets, a Config Panel pop-up
3. Click the Plus button even though it is grey color
4. Another window "Configure Panel" pop-up
5. Select "Quick Launch" and click "Add Widget"
6. A new button will be added "Drop application icon here"
7. Click the Menu, select your application and drag that application to the newly created button
Hope it helps
