Beyond_Life Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Ive got a serie of buttons for fast acces to sites. Most of the buttons have there own pic. Like the one from groovypost.com, so I can delete the title and just keep the icon with the green GP letters in it. But some buttons dont have there own pic. Like the Synology forums. Its shows as just a white paper sheet thingy. So in that case I have to keep the titles next to the icon. My question is, can I change that?

Steve Krause Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 You know what, that's an awesome tip! I never thought about deleting the name and just leaving the FAVICON. Very cool. Now to answer your question, it goes back to the Favicon. By default all websites don't have the Favicon, they need to create one then copy it up to the root of their Webservers. For instance, you can find mine here: http://www.groovypost.com/favicon.ico Now, as a browser goes to a site and it detects the Favicon.ico file it will show it in the TAB or next to the site etc... If not, usually they get a BLANK page like explained. So if you goto a site like the Synlology Forums??? and you see just a blank page, it's probably because they need to create a favicon.ico file and copy it to the root of their server/forum. Make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyond_Life Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Very logical. And ofc it makes sense but....Ive got a few white sheet icons in a row. And if i delete the title i wont be able to know wich one is wich. So how do i change the favicon my self, into a favicon i can reconize without needing a title?

I know of NO way to change the Facicon yourself. You need to email the Webmaster and tell him to get his crap together and put a favicon up on his site.

Guest seluna Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I don't know if it helps with your case, but I'm using this add-on "Favicon Picker 3" to hide the titles for the Bookmark bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyond_Life Posted July 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 thats a good one, for the white paper sheet thingys. But for hiding the titles, you can also right click the favicon and just delete the description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
