DWR26 Posted 30, September 2009 Report Share Posted 30, September 2009 Hey guys, Love the site, great group of users and a real community growing. I was looking at all of my browser shortcuts the other day and this is the only site I use now without a favicon. I would offer to do it for you, but frankly, there are limits to my tech skills. Any chance of this being put into the development list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffyn Posted 30, September 2009 Report Share Posted 30, September 2009 Not something I'd noticed. Until you brought it up. Great suggestion. The chequered australia would seem to suggest itself to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dish Posted 1, October 2009 Report Share Posted 1, October 2009 It's something that has been discussed with the site host/guru "exstatic" Not sure when it'll be implemented but it is on the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremund Posted 1, October 2009 Report Share Posted 1, October 2009 I can do it, It's a two second job once I have the icon. The icon needs to be one of these sizes 16×16, 32×32 or 64×64. So if someone provides me the icon I can do it - I'm not a graphic designer so I can't do the icon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dish Posted 1, October 2009 Report Share Posted 1, October 2009 OK, I'll send that to you as I did the artwork - but what about the background colour? What format does it have to be? Bitmap, JPEG, or GIF? If GIF then it can have a transparent background I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffyn Posted 2, October 2009 Report Share Posted 2, October 2009 .ico for IE; Firefox, Opera and Safari will handle .gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dish Posted 2, October 2009 Report Share Posted 2, October 2009 Thanks Griff. Dunno if I can convert to .ico, but will try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffyn Posted 13, December 2009 Report Share Posted 13, December 2009 Given the number of Apple freaks amongst the community... iPhone iconsAs long as we're messing with tiny icons, why not drop in an iPhone icon in case users want to bookmark your page on their iPhone menu? It's just about as easy as creating a favicon and the head tag looks nearly identical. Apple has instructions on their site for creating a Web Clip icon and specifying an icon for Web Clip, but we have you covered. Apple recommends using a 57x57 pixel icon, however curious designers who've played with the format discovered that best results seem to come from 60x60 pixel icons at 72dpi. The iPhone will automatically downscale the image, so the size will still be 57 pixels, but you'll get a little bit sharper image starting with the larger dimensions. Once you've created your 60x60 pixel iPhone icon, upload it to the root directory on your website, just as we did with the favicon file. The iPhone may discover your image without you needing to tell it where it is it you name the file apple-touch-icon.png, but just to be on the safe side, add this tag to your HTML documents, somewhere in the tag: And there you have it. All the tiny icons you can eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
