Change command-line arguments for favorite applications in Dock





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I've added an option to Exec line in .desktop file for GNOME Terminal (I need to add --maximize). File is /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Terminal.desktop.



I have Terminal in my favorites in Dock. But my changes has no effects - terminal still launches in a normal mode, even after restarting GNOME shell. Where is the problem and how can I change command line arguments for my favorites applications in Dock?

          When you click on Terminal icon on Dock, actually New Window action is performed. I believe you added --maximize flag only in main entries which will give you maximized terminal window when launched from launcher. So, edit the org.gnome.Terminal.desktop and add the above said flag to New Window also. It would look like:



          [Desktop Action new-window]
          Name=New Window
          Exec=gnome-terminal --window --maximize
