I have installed(extracted) ADT(Android Developer Tools) at my home directory and I want to have a launcher icon for it.

Reason for this:
I have the problem with the dark tooltips at eclipse and I'm trying the fix described here so I need to run eclipse with GTK2_RC_FILES=~/.gtkrc-eclipse everytime.
(Also, I am using medditeraneanDark theme if that's needed as info.)

This is what I have created and works: 

[Desktop Entry]
Name=ADT
Exec=/home/chris/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130522/eclipse/eclipse
Icon=/home/chris/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130522/eclipse/plugins/com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.package_22.0.1.v201305230001--685705/icons/adt.png
Type=Application

But now I need to run adt like this:

GTK2_RC_FILES=~/.gtkrc-eclipse /home/chris/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130522/eclipse/eclipse

I've tried these:

Exec=GTK2_RC_FILES=~/.gtkrc-eclipse /home/chris/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130522/eclipse/eclipse

Exec="GTK2_RC_FILES=~/.gtkrc-eclipse /home/chris/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130522/eclipse/eclipse"

But none seemed to work.

How can I achieve this?

Try it with the env command

Exec=/usr/bin/env GTK2_RC_FILES=/home/chris/.gtkrc-eclipse /home/chris/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130522/eclipse/eclipse

See man env

NAME
       env - run a program in a modified environment

       env [OPTION]... [-] [NAME=VALUE]... [COMMAND [ARG]...]

  • I tried this and it does run but the icons of Eclipse don't show and the settings of gtkr-eclipse haven't been applied. Running this command at terminal though everything looks as wanted GTK2_RC_FILES=$HOME/.gtkrc-eclipse /home/chris/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130522/eclipse/eclipse – Chris Sep 10 '13 at 18:01

    Hmm... sorry - maybe try absolute path /home/chris instead or $HOME – steeldriver Sep 10 '13 at 18:25
  • OK that's good - I have corrected the answer accordingly – steeldriver Sep 10 '13 at 18:38
