New Favicon?
« on: August 11, 2014, 05:38:34 PM »
I've noticed a new favicon on the tab I have this forum opened on, and in the URL bar.  Is it new or has my browser just now seen it?

Guilty.. it's new.

I got tired of seeing 404-Not Found for various apple icons, so I whipped up an icon:



using Paint.NET and ran it through a great website at http://realfavicongenerator.net/ to create a full set of Apple, Android and Windows8 icons + the html to add to have them go into effect.

Good eyes, Greg... at 16x16 it's kinda hard to see the words, but the thundercloud is still there :)

Best regards,
Ken

I've recently switched to Pale Moon browser (Firefox like it used to be) and there was just a blank square in my tab and a globe in my url bar.  Now I show the new icon.  Thanks!   =D>
