Looks good, but it could have been better smile.gif

I noticed that, too! I wonder why that was done? I never heard any discussion of it anywhere. Looks OK. What do you think it should have looked like? I'm not so good at favicons, so I don't have any suggestions.
[deXter]
Well for starters, the colors appear a bit dull.

I think it would have looked better if it was like the tilted Windows logo that the MSFN banner currently has



or even the 'm' part of it would make a good favicon smile.gif

Suggest it! There's a forum for site-related things like that. They might accept your idea.

It look more best if it converted in round shape.

I like the last one: Click to view attachment the windows flag is hard to see in the one above it.

I've read before that a favicon can be no more than 16 colors. Is that true?

Nope, atleast, its no longer true. The original requirement was that it had to be a .ico only, but all browsers since IE5 onwards support GIF and PNG too.

What about size?

16x16 or larger. 16x16 is the most widely used size. Mac OS X sometimes uses 128x128.

Way to big. At the usual size of about 16x16 or 32x32, it would be very hard to see.

IE is weird like that. Sometimes they show up, often they don't. Why are you using IE? May I suggest Opera or Firefox?

I think the MSFN favicon should be a gnome.

laugh.gif You've got to be kidding me. What does a gnome have to with MSFN, or even any other software forum?

@jcarle - What's with you and gnomes today? laugh.gif

We are the gnomes. We will take over the world.

These are my top two picks in no particular order.

I like the one that is an M on a blue background. The one that is currently being used... all though I don't know how long that will last! whistling.gif

The one I liked was the one that was kind of diamond shaped with the four windows colors.
