    Hey,
    Here is my First Tutorial:
    How to install Lincity on Aspire One and add a Icon on the AAO Linpus Launcher in 5 very easy steps!

    Its neccessary that you follow all these steps exactly.

    First of all
    the game is available from the add software in the system section of the Advanced menu.

    Secondly After the game has finished installing open a terminal window (Press ALT and F2) and type:
    lincity-ng -S 1024x600 into the terminal window.
    This will launch the game in the correct resolution and the game will save these settings automatically.

    Thirdly Close the game. Open a terminal window (Press ALT and F2) and (Copy/Paste)sudo thunar /home/user/.config/xfce4/desktop/group-app.xml
    Be careful you may harm your system !!

    Fourthly Search the group which comprised desktop-directories/FunGames.directory
    Here is mine for example:
    </group>
    <dir id="1" parent_dir_id="0">
    <directory_file exec="" tag_background="/usr/share/backgrounds/images/yellow-bk-title.png">/usr/share/desktop-directories/FunGames.directory</directory_file>
    <background_picture>/usr/share/backgrounds/images/yellow-bk-large-games.png</background_picture>

    <app is_arrow="1" name="" sequence="-10">/usr/share/applications/yellow-back.desktop</app>
    <app sequence="0">/usr/share/applications/ltris.desktop</app>
    <app sequence="1">/usr/share/applications/linpus-frozen-bubble.desktop</app>
    <app sequence="2">/usr/share/applications/tuxpuck.desktop</app>
    <app sequence="3">/usr/share/applications/llk_linux.desktop</app>
    <app sequence="4">/usr/share/applications/supertux.desktop</app>


    Fifthly Copy/Paste this line. Add this (for example after sequence="4")

    <app sequence="5" name="Lincity" icon="lincity-ng.png">/usr/share/applications/fedora-lincity-ng.desktop</app>

    Make sure that the sequence numbers are in the right direction!

    Save these new settings and leave the file by closing. Shutdown your system and restart it a few minutes later.
    Sixthly go to fun / games / lincity.
