...anyone know how to make these? I was thinking it'd be nice to have a little something fancy to distinguish BARF in your bookmark lists. :D

Do you mean how to "make" the icon itself or how to get it into the bookmarks?

They use the small icon which is a 16x16 pixel image. I think 256 colors. If you have visual studio around the resource editor has an icon editor.

If you want other icon editors and/or how to actually do it. Check out this article.

Hey Steve, I was so board I made an icon but I can't attach it to message since .ico files are not allowed. If you want it let me know...

[JackTheTripper]

can you save as a gif also so we can see?

*edit*

Tisk tisk Steve. Shouldn't this be under web site? Or at least the KS?:twofinger

Dang it... the conversion program took the 32x32 pixel image out of the icon file. See, icon files actualy have mutiple sizes in them... What you want is the 16x16 small one.

1) Can't remember but I know where to find it. The browser goes out and looks to see if there is an icon available for the site that's been bookmarked. If there is, it displays it.

2) No, no he can't. To quote from the attachment area, "Valid file extensions: gif jpg jpeg png"

Hehe, it has to be on the server under the name favicon.ico at the root of any directory you'd expect the person to bookmark the page from.

Um, ok since there is no way to attach this dang icon I'll put up my webserver. Some mod can download and set it up if they choose. Who would I PM the url to?

Well you can (or could, don't know if it's been changed) on SB.N so I figured you could here as well :x

Oh great Steve does not allow .zip files. But he could. Hell, he could allow .exe files if he wanted. But I'm sure he doesn't want to. He doesn't even allow HTML so I can't have any CSS fun.:(
