NAME

       mb-applet-launcher - an application launcher panel applet

SYNOPSIS

       mb-applet-launcher [options] [action] image_file application

DESCRIPTION

       mb-applet-launcher  is a panel applet which can be used to start a given application. The applet displays
       the PNG or XPM file given on the command line as an icon, and when  the  user  clicks  on  the  icon  the
       application is started.

       Matchbox  is a base environment for the X Window System running on non-desktop embedded platforms such as
       handhelds, set-top boxes, kiosks and anything else for which screen space,  input  mechanisms  or  system
       resources are limited.

OPTIONS

       -display display
              X display to connect to

       --title title

       --no-animation
              Disable any animations

       --start, -s
              Start application immediately

       The  default  action  is to iconize/uniconize the selected application. Other actions can be specified as
       command-line options:

       --kill, -k
              Destroy the application

       --respawn, -l
              Respawn multiple instances of the application

       --message, -m
              Display output from the application as a message from the panel

       Alternatively, a valid .desktop file can be given:

       --desktop .desktop_file
              Any actions given with this option will have no effect.  Similar  behaviour  can  be  achieved  by
              including a `SingleInstance=True' key pair in the .desktop file.
