6. Signal should now work in your AppVM.
Creating a Shortcut in KDE
--------------------------
Creating a Shortcut in the applications menu
--------------------------------------------
Let's make Signal a bit more usable by creating a shortcut in our desktop
panel that launches Signal directly. This assumes that you're using KDE in Dom0,
panel that launches Signal directly. This assumes that you're using KDE or Xfce in Dom0,
you use Signal in an AppVM named `Signal`, and this AppVM uses `fedora-23` as its TemplateVM.
1. Follow [these instructions][shortcut] to create a desktop shortcut on the Desktop of your Signal AppVM.
Let's assume the shortcut file you get is /home/user/Desktop/chrome-bikioccmkafdpakkkcpdbhpfkkhcmohk-Default.desktop
2. Copy this shortcut file to the AppVM's TemplateVM - in this case, to fedora-23.
Let's assume the shortcut file you get is `/home/user/Desktop/chrome-bikioccmkafdpakkkcpdbhpfkkhcmohk-Default.desktop`
2. Copy this shortcut file to the AppVM's TemplateVM - in this case, to `fedora-23`.
3. You'll also want to copy across an icon for your new shortcut - you can find this at
/home/user/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/chrome-bikioccmkafdpakkkcpdbhpfkkhcmohk-Default.png
Copy this icon to the fedora-23 TemplateVM.
4. Open a terminal in your fedora-23 TemplateVM and cd to /home/user/QubesIncoming/Signal/
`/home/user/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/chrome-bikioccmkafdpakkkcpdbhpfkkhcmohk-Default.png`
Copy this icon to the `fedora-23` TemplateVM.
4. Open a terminal in your `fedora-23` TemplateVM and `cd` to `/home/user/QubesIncoming/Signal/`.
You should find your shortcut and icon files just transferred across from the Signal AppVM.
Move these files to the following locations:
[user@fedora-23 Signal]$ sudo mv chrome-bikioccmkafdpakkkcpdbhpfkkhcmohk-Default.desktop /usr/share/applications/
[user@fedora-23 Signal]$ sudo mv chrome-bikioccmkafdpakkkcpdbhpfkkhcmohk-Default.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/
[user@fedora-23 Signal]$ sudo mv chrome-bikioccmkafdpakkkcpdbhpfkkhcmohk-Default.desktop /usr/share/applications/
[user@fedora-23 Signal]$ sudo mv chrome-bikioccmkafdpakkkcpdbhpfkkhcmohk-Default.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/
5. From a Dom0 terminal, instruct Qubes to synchronize the application menus of this TemplateVM:
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-sync-appmenus fedora-23
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-sync-appmenus fedora-23
6. 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.
7. Then follow the `Q` menu once more, right-click on the new `Signal: Signal Private Messenger` menu item and select `Add to Panel`.
