Hi, I want to know how to create a new icon (an icon that will link to my youtube) and add it to the system so it appears on everyone's desktop. I want this to be a default for new users too.

There's a number of ways you could do this, one way would be to make an app that runs on startup that creates a .desktop file on a one-time-only basis (you can add the startup app globally by editing /desktop/dojotoolkit/lucid/config.js, and see app.js in the same folder to see how to write a .desktop file).

The other way is to make the .desktop file by adding it into the models (see /backend/models/user.php).

Both methods require editing source code, sorry it's not easier. Does that answer your question?

Well the start up folder would be the best right? because then it would be there everytime, and if i just do the .desktop file in the models it would could be deleted forever right?

im gunna give it a shot

ok soo i found out this is basically out of my level here.. I know basically 0 javascript lol. So there is no way to just add an icon that links off the page?
