How can I replace the default Glue42 toolbar with a custom application?


I found the application APIs, but there is no reference about instructing Glue Desktop to use a custom launcher.


Solution

  • Yes, the toolbar can be replaced with a custom one.

    You need to:

    1. Instruct Glue42 Desktop that your application should be considered as a shell and that it should be started automatically
    2. Instruct Glue42 Desktop that it should use a custom launcher

    Below are the entries for those.

    Add the following to the root level of your application's config (to be placed under %localAppData%\Tick42\GlueDesktop\config\apps\):

    {
        ...
        "shell": true,
        "autoStart": true,
        ...
    }
    

    And add the following to the %localAppData%\Tick42\GlueDesktop\config\system.json file:

    {
        ...
        "useEmbeddedShell": false
        ...
    }
