So you think my favicon is boring, do you? Or perhaps your browser is IE6 and you haven’t even seen it, yet? Well, that’s it in the corner, and here it is magnified.
All you get to work with is 16×16=256 pixels. That’s it. I tried coming up with a representative icon, but ultimately I decided to keep it literal. Using Microsoft Paint, I clicked the pixels in one-by-one, manually.
I could have done something fancier, like the font-smoothed favicon in the corner of this paragraph that starts out scrolling, but the pixel count came out perfectly for the way I did it, so that’s what I chose. (Note: Firefox may not show the scrolling effect.)
It scrolled for me!
I saw it too; I guess I was expecting a *continuous* scroll, but clearly it’s not. Works in both IE7 and FF2. I’d have to go look back carefully at Camino/Safari to see if it works at all there. I could have just missed it…
Prefer? I think you can do a dograt like the Apple dogcow of yore. Here is a page with some examples of the dogcow image, including some small ones.
Oh! I just saw it scroll in Firefox.
Scrolls in IE6. Scrolling or not, do you prefer it to the other favicon?
Doesn’t scroll here (Camino on Mac — same codebase as FireFox/Mozilla). And yes, it *is* boring.
