Linux .desktop file / vector icon?

[6r1d]

Linux distros use .desktop files to add applications in a menu.

Default .ico file was a bit tiny for Ubuntu menu, so I made SVG version for it, no blur enabled.
I'll attach icon file I'm using.
lite.svg.zip

There is a .desktop file I am using:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.06
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=Lite
Exec=/home/grid/tools/lite/lite
GenericName=Lite text editor
Comment=A lightweight text editor written in Lua
Icon=/home/grid/tools/lite/lite.svg
Categories=programming
Name[en_US]=Lite

Would it be useful to have a script, which adds Lite in a menu by creating a Lite.desktop file in ~.local/share/applications?

Question- When I do this, Lite then launches in it's build direqctory. How do you launch it via .desktop and open another code folder?

@StarrKiss, please try something like this:

Path=/home/StarrKiss/lite
