Any chance of us getting a browser icon for the website?  Many other established websites have their own icons but Palmtalk still has the generic page icon next to the "http".

Thanks.

At this very moment, I am checking into that for another personal palm website I am developing. If I succeed in figuring it out, and everything is cool with the ISP, etc, I'll give it a try.

William, you are the guy of a thousand gifs. How about sending me a couple of small ones that may work, if you have any.

Thanks to those of you who help make this a fun and friendly forum.

I found these...

palm-tree.gif  ( http://kerala-hub.com/images/palm-tree.gif )

palm_icon.jpg  ( http://ausetkmt.com/g/palm_icon.jpg )  I like this one the best...  It is simple and when small still discernable.

Do they have to be the right size?

William,

What part of "secret" don't you understand?

If I told you, I would have to kill you. Just kidding  :) , it's just not far enough along yet to put it out there. Soon though.

Thanks for the gifs. I found out they have to be 16 x 16 and there's a few tricks to getting them to look sharp. There are some free favicon (as they are called) editors, but the hardest part is finding out which part of the root directory they belong in, and if I have access to it via FTP or SSH. I will give it a try soon.

I also found out that even though I may get it working, if your bookmarks, etc. are cached you may not see that it has been added. Your browser will still display the old address with the old generic symbol (favicon).

Thanks to those of you who help make this a fun and friendly forum.

Ok ,16x16 is really difficult to work with...  It can look like one thing when your zoomed in on it, and a complete mess in a regular view...  Nonetheless here's what I came up with...

Maybe a poll would be in order...

William,

I like that last one the best as well. However, it needs to be in an .ico format. I think I can do that, but it may degrade the quality a bit. If you want, you can find a free favicon editor online that will convert that for you. Then you can check the quality and email it to me if it's OK. d.ouer@mac.com

I tried posting some that I came up with, but couldn't get the .ico to attach, or to get it into Photo Bucket.

Anyway, I'll check out some more things when I get a chance this evening. It is not that easy (for me anyway) to get this in the address bar. Changing html on the main page, putting the .ico in the right directory via FTP, etc. I could really mess up. But I am not afraid.  You can live without the Forum for a week or two, can't you. :)

Besides, I will need to know how to get my Top Secret favicon into my Top Secret Site anyway.  :;):

Thanks to those of you who help make this a fun and friendly forum.
