WebGen Linux Manual

Applications

Launch apps from the menu, the launcher (Super+D), or their icon. The file manager’s “Open With…” hands files to the right app by extension.

webgen 0.14.0

The WebGen web browser — Rust + GTK4 + WebKitGTK 6. Tabs, private windows, an ad-block content filter, a privileged webgen://home start page with a bookmarks toolbar, and an offline page-mirror (“Save offline” → ~/Offline).

webgen-files 0.3.5

A GTK4 file manager: browse, copy/paste, rename, delete, new folder, and “Open With…” handing a file to the app associated with its extension.

webgen-edit 0.8.1

A native source editor (GTK4/libadwaita + GtkSourceView5): a file tree, syntax highlighting, and syntax checking as you type — an error icon in the gutter, a squiggle on the line, and a status bar that jumps to the first problem, across nine languages. Opens files handed to it by the file manager’s “Open With…”.

webgen-terminal 0.2.2

A tabbed terminal (VTE). Follows the system theme; volume/mic keys and copy/paste bound. “Open With… → Terminal” opens a shell in that directory.

webgen-settings 0.12.0

System Settings: appearance, sound, date & time (timezone + NTP), network basics + Wi-Fi, firewall, processes, services, and per-app settings — driven through native CLIs, no D-Bus dependency.

macburger 0.1.2

Network scanner and SSH manager: discovers hosts on a subnet, scans ports, fingerprints operating systems, and keeps a live dashboard with sparklines of the machines you manage.

webgen-paint 0.2.1

An MS-Paint-style raster editor: pencil, line, rectangle, ellipse, flood fill, eraser and eyedropper, with undo/redo, zoom to 3200% with a pixel grid, and paste straight from the clipboard.

webgen-swatch 0.3.1

A colour tool. Pick a primary colour and get a five-swatch palette across six harmony schemes, override any swatch by hand, and save named palettes that every other WebGen app can then use through its own colour picker.

webgen-shot 1.0.1

Screenshots: the full screen, a selected region, or a single window, with an optional delay and copy-to-clipboard. Uses the wlroots capture path (grim/slurp), so it works properly under Wayland.

webgen-pdf 0.1.1

A PDF viewer built on Poppler — WebKit does not render PDFs. Page navigation and zoom from 10% to 800%; opens a file handed to it by “Open With…”.

webgen-calc 0.1.1

A calculator with correct operator precedence and parentheses, full keyboard input, and a history line above the current expression.

webgen-solitaire 0.3.1

Klondike and Spider solitaire, drawn with Cairo. Card animations, a deals-remaining counter, and a confirmation before discarding a game in progress.
