Setting up the App Launcher

App Launcher widgets require additional setup in order to function properly. Specific App Launcher commands needs to be created and configured so that apps can be launched from Quasar. App Launcher commands can be configured in the Settings menu under the App Launcher page.

Example:

In the image above, Quasar is configured to launch Firefox and Spotify using the App Launcher commands firefox, and spotify respectively. A properly configured App Launcher widget will receive the list of configured commands and will able to send these commands to Quasar in order to launch the configured applications.

Furthermore, you can also specify your own custom icon for each of these commands. In the previous example, icons have been added for all three commands. The sample widget sample_app_launcher that comes installed with Quasar is preconfigured to use custom icons. Of course, what the commands themselves execute can be completely arbitrary and is up to user discretion, so be sure to set them up properly!
