17 <h2>SliTaz Web Browser</h2>
19 <p>
20 TazWeb is a radically simple and very light web browser providing a
21 single window with a small toolbar, but without any menubar or tabs.
22 Navigation is done with a right click anywhere in the browser window
23 or from the toolbar. Also a fullscreen mode, bookmarks, home page
24 and this documentation file are accessible from the right-hand side
25 of the toolbar.
26 </p>
27 <p>
28 The SliTaz Web Browser was created for the needs of TazPanel which is
29 the SliTaz administration and packages manager panel and made with
30 the latest technologies such as xHTML 5 and CSS 3 for the graphical
31 user interface. The content is powered by CGI scripts and the prefered
32 web server is Busybox httpd.
33 </p>
34 <p>
35 The browser is small, very small, the binary is about 16 Kb and
36 uses the Webkit engine for page rendering and therefore supports
37 all latest web standards as well as Javascript.
38 </p>
40 <h3>My TazWeb Page</h3>
41 <p>
42 TazWeb handles a personal page located in your Freedesktop standard
43 configuration directory, the path is: $HOME/.config/tazweb/page.html.
44 It lets you have a custom page with bookmarks and other content. The
45 CSS style is defined in $HOME/.config/tazweb/style.css.
46 </p>
47 <p>
48 The file is a simple xHTML 5 document with, by default, a list of
49 links and a box. You can edit this file with you favorite editor
50 and add content such as bookmarks entries or change the look and
51 feel as you want. At first start TazWeb will create and copy your
52 personal page and style to your config directory.
53 </p>
54 <p>
55 To add some life to your pages you can use your own Javascript
56 widgets or some from a third party website such as the famous
57 <a href="http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets">
58 Twitter Widget</a> as seen on the SliTaz main website.
59 </p>
60 <p>
61 Note: You will find the default page.html in: /usr/share/tazweb and
62 can get an original copy with the following commands in a terminal:
63 </p>
64 <pre>
65 $ mkdir -p $HOME/.config/tazweb
66 $ cp /usr/share/tazweb/*.html $HOME/.config/tazweb
67 $ cp /usr/share/tazweb/*.css $HOME/.config/tazweb
68 </pre>
70 <h3>Home page and url in argument</h3>
72 <p>
73 The default start page has been defined in the source code and can't be
74 changed and is the default SliTaz WebHome, but TazWeb accepts an
75 URL as a first argument, example: http://www.slitaz.org/. In this way
76 you can for example create your own and custom home page in a pretty
77 xHTML document and start tazweb with a standard desktop file or from
78 the command line: tazweb file://$HOME/.config/tazweb/home.html.
79 </p>
80 <p>
81 If you want a custom home page for your Live system or all system users,
82 you can create your own slitaz-configs package or edit the xHTML file
83 located in /usr/share/webhome/index.html. If you modify it, make sure
84 to block slitaz-configs or make a backup because it will be overwritten
85 with a slitaz-configs package update.
86 </p>
88 <h3>Web applications</h3>
89 <p>
90 TazWeb browser is perfect to launch web applications via a simple
91 desktop file. Once created with a simple text editor, the desktop
92 file can stand on the desktop with a nice icon or in the standard
93 SliTaz menu. Example of a web application launcher that you could
94 name scn.desktop:
95 </p>
96 <pre>
97 [Desktop Entry]
98 Type=Application
99 Name=SliTaz SCN
100 Icon=slitaz-menu
101 Exec=tazweb http://scn.slitaz.org/
102 </pre>
