Adding a program to home screen. - pcdoodle - 08-11-2020

I'd like to add a custom program or even .sh script to the home screen. How would I do that?

Any way to add a web app to the home screen as well? (Open a browser and goto a URL).

You have to create a .desktop file and put it in ~/.local/share/applications/. It looks something like this
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Screen Capture
Type=Application
Icon=emblem-videos-symbolic
Exec=screencap
Categories=Utility;

Epiphany can create entries for webapps. Just go to the webiste you want as a webapp and select install as webapp from the menu.
