The same steps should work for any Chrome app. The same steps should work for any Chrome app.
Creating a shortcut in the applications menu for a StandaloneVM
---------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to add to the standalone VM rather than a template, then follow below.
The following part will also assume that the .desktop file has been correctly made.
This can also be used to add a application portable application/script from a tar archive, also this part of the guide is assuming that the StandaloneVM is called `Signal`.
1. First you will need to copy/move the .desktop file: `/home/user/Desktop/chrome-bikioccmkafdpakkkcpdbhpfkkhcmohk-Default.desktop`to the applications folder on the StandaloneVM: `/usr/share/applications/`
[user@Signal ~]$ sudo mv /home/user/Desktop/chrome-bikioccmkafdpakkkcpdbhpfkkhcmohk-Default.desktop /usr/share/applications/
2. Now copy/move over the icon file to make it look all nice and pretty.
[user@Signal ~]$ sudo mv /home/user/Desktop/chrome-bikioccmkafdpakkkcpdbhpfkkhcmohk-Default.desktop /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/
3. Now fire up the `dom0` Terminal Emulator from `Q` Menu -> `Terminal Emulator`. All you need to do now is run the command to sync the app menus `qvm-sync-appmenus` along with the Standalone VM name `Signal`.
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-sync-appmenus Signal
4. Now stop the StandaloneVM: `Signal`.
5. With your mouse select the `Q` menu -> `Domain: Signal` -> `Signal: Add more shortcuts`. Select `Signal Private Messenger` from the left `Available` column, move it to the right `Selected` column by clicking the `>` button and then `OK` to apply the changes and close the window.
6. (optional, only on KDE:) Follow the `Q` menu once more, right-click on the new `Signal: Signal Private Messenger` menu item and select `Add to Panel`.
