I noticed this site doesn't have a favicon.. that little icon that appears next to the browser address for many sites... I made a few today with spiritplants in mind, let me know if you want to use one of these saved in .ico format..

I block favicons from being displayed so I had no idea. If I were gonna through my vote in though I like the black one from the first set you proposed. It complements the current theme nicely. I wonder if there is a way to make your bookmarks use a favicon even if the site doesn't specify one directly.

gooey

There's a firefox extension for users to change the favicons for sites at

//https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7849

If you have a url saved on your desktop you can change that in windows like any other icon by right clicking to properties and then change icon and browse to the .ico file you want to use.

Anyway if this site ever wants to use it, here's the leaf on black icon attached in a zip. Its the above leaf on black one from the first set I posted, I just rounded the corners by one pixel so it looks a little bit smoother I think it looks better that way.

Thanks gooey. I have pretty much no artistic talent so this is welcome.  :smoke2:

I added the most recent one you zipped up but I am not seeing it in Firefox. It does show up in IE so it may just be my FF settings or something.

Let me know if its working for you.

I just noticed the first set you posted and I kinda like the black with green that looks like its glowing or something. The top left one.

Maybe I can try that one tomorrow and see if anyone likes that.

gooey

Yes, it shows up in firefox for me.. If you can't see it, try clearing your cache.. If you can't see it in your favorites list, try re-bookmarking the site and it should show.

I have many favicons for visited sites in my tabs and this green on black one really pops out among them all.. I think it looks good..
Np I'm glad to pitch in!
Here's the green glowy one zipped too..

kemp

So, what do you guys think? I like both but think I prefer the green-glowey one that is up now.

But I will go with what the majority like... speak up and make it so. Thanks again gooey  :)

judih

try as i may, i'm not getting the favicon to appear.
if i do, i'll be happy to report my reactions

edit: i can see it and yes the glowing veins of the leaf on the grey to black backgrnd is great

gooey

I think I prefer the simplicity of the leaf on pure black one. But its hard to say, they both look good. lol, if I do say so myself.

kemp

K, I changed it back so that Judih and others could check it out. Honestly they both look good to me.
