You might start by describing what's wrong with them?

I'm wandering how can i add xmms into my menus...........

There is a screenshot, I guess you cannot see it it is uploaded on hit.bg ...
Well, all the letters in the menus are some strange symbols. The same thing happens on windows when you don't have the releant font or when you're using wrong encoding.

Install xmms.

yum install xmms

If it is installed. Check the file: /usr/share/applications/redhat-audio-player.desktop

@Bozho... The screenshot is failing to load. Probably too big, or too much network traffic. Try checking the file mentioned above.

I've tried to install it several times - same problem. In fact, all my FC4 menus are in Bulgarian. Maby it's all because of the cyrilic fonts ...

I have got xmms installed in my box, and it works fine. But i can't find your file in my os, i'm using FC4 with GNOME.
Thanks !

Or maybe it's because your region/language is set to Bulgaria? Try changing it to an English language (if that's what you want).

Use the System Settings -> Language tool.

I'm using FC4 with Gnome as well. How did you install xmms? From which yum repo?

Perhaps the file has a different name on your system. Search the /usr/share/applications directory for it. If it doesn't exist, reinstall xmms via yum or create the .desktop file yourself.

Actually, i installed it with RPMs from freshrpms.net, and i want to know how to create a .desktop file. It's the key.....

Any ideas?

BTW: Do not embed images using the [IMG] tag -- especially from some extremely slow site like that one.
Use the 'Attachment' feature of this forum.

Start by examining a few of the existing .desktop files. Creating one for xmms is exceedingly simple - copy an existing .desktop file, and modify it to point to xmms.

Friendly Advice: This topic has been discussed hundreds of times here. You should always do some (re)searching before asking questions.

Sorry for that jTang613, you know English is not my first language, i do not know which keywords should it be, as well as some other questions.
I think i may improve my English as soon as possible.
However, thanks all the same, i shall try it later.

I didn't know that - or forgot. Either way, you seem to have a good enough understanding of the language. I mean, you were articulate enough to ask the question.

Hi, jTang613, i've did that with Smeg menu editor.
Thank you in advance!
