For those that don't know, Favicons are 16x16 pixel icons,
that can optionally be put at the root level of your site.
These are most often company or site logos. With the favicon.ico
file in place, users who bookmark your site will see your logo
next to the bookmark, instead of Internet Explorer's generic
icon.
Here are instructions on how to make your favicon.ico file
partially transparent:
- Create 16x16 image in your favorite graphics
application.
- Save in .gif or similar format
- Open the latest version
of Irfan View. Preferrably version 3.9x and above.
- Go to save your
file in Irfan View as an .ico file.
- In the "PNG/PNM/ICO Save
Options" Pop-up, check the box under ICO at the bottom
that says "Save Transparent Color".
- Click Save.
- Now, click on the background
color you want to be transparent.
- Upload your new favicon.ico
file
Now, just add the site to your favorite to see the new icon. |
