# NAME

     icewm-toolbar - icewm toolbar configuration file

# SYNOPSIS

     $ICEWM_PRIVCFG/toolbar
     $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/icewm/toolbar
     $HOME/.icewm/toolbar
     /etc/icewm/toolbar
     /usr/share/icewm/toolbar

# DESCRIPTION

The toolbar file is responsible for configuring quick launch application icons that are placed on the icewm(1) panel. It contains names of quick to launch applications with icons for the task bar. Each non-empty non-comment line starts with the keyword prog. After one or more spaces follows a name, which is displayed in a tool tip whenever the mouse cursor hovers over the toolbar icon. This name may be a double quoted string. Then follows the bare name of the icon to use without extensions. This icon will be shown in the toolbar. The last component is a shell command line which will be executed whenever the user presses the icon in the toolbar. For example, the following line in toolbar will create a button with tool tip `Mozilla Firefox` with the firefox icon which launches firefox(1) when clicked:

        prog  "Mozilla Firefox"  firefox  /usr/bin/firefox --private-window

# FORMAT

The format of the file contains one of the following line syntax:
