Description: Temperature conversion script that lets the user enter a temperature in Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin and receive the equivalent temperature in the other two units as the output.
GUI made with YAD Yet Another Dialog - its a fork of zenity Get it from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/yad-dialog
Copy icon temperature.png to /usr/share/icons Copy script tempconverter to /usr/local/bin and make it executable chmod +x tempconverter Copy tempconverter.desktop to /usr/share/applications
Menu entry in other or miscellaneous
Buttons are in your locale, my locale is German so dont wonder about Screenshot
This is an excellent operational program and great for instructional purposes .
I have one suggestion though . I got it all installed fine but not being versed in adding menu items was unable to do so . perhaps you could expand that process or link to it somewhere just to complete your excellent work.
I use Puppy Linux , XenialPup64-7.5.1 I have put the desktop file in /usr/share/applications as above and there are many more but it still does not display in my menu . I would like to understand why.

Do it exactly like in README.txt. Important is to copy tempconverter.desktop file to /usr/share/applications Then you will find Entry in Utility Menu

Ok, inside file tempconverter.desktop must be written Categories=Utility; Then it Works
OK Thanks that got it but I had to rebuild the menu after that .
Used "fixmenus" command
