[Request] A new icon to launch MicroB to Google as default?

[qt4eva]

Hello,
Am hoping to get this work for my N900. Can someone help? As you already know, if you launch the default MicroB browser(globe) it will open the bookmark window but then even after clicking on one of the link the bookmark window does not close out. What I want is an icon like the Ovi Store icon but instead of going to the Ovi store, it will go to google.com instead. The icon can still be the default MicroB(globe) icon. I know I can put a bookmark link on the desktop, but that icon is way too big. Am looking for the regular size icon. Thank you for any help.

try the google widget, or i personaly prefer the touch search widget.

i wanted the icon so i can use it as a browser laucher as well to avoid the annoying bookmark window :- and i like google as my first launch page just like my desktop setup.

Sorry if this is stating the obvious, but why not just put a bookmark on the desktop?

[qt4eva]

i know we can add a bookmark to desktop but i don't like it as the icon is too big and takes up all desktop space.

If you feel like hacking, there is probably a way to modify the .desktop file of the browser icon to either point to the same place as the bookmark does, OR pass different arguments to the browser on startup. Apart from that Good Luck or just settle for the bookmark.

Agree with gt4eva, setting a custom homepage for MicroB would be nice. :/

Is there a way to modify the default Ovi Store icon to point to google.com instead of store.ovi.com and change it icon? or better yet, is there a way to make a copy of it and make change to the copy one?

There you go just place it in /usr/share/applications/hildon and you are ready to go.
