Want readers of your website to have a shiny designed icon for your website when they add it as a web clipping?
All you need to do is upload a 57×57 PNG to the root directory of your website and call it “apple-touch-icon.png” and the next time a user tries making a web clipping they will have a neat little icon instead of boring text.
Yes ’cause I really want an angry action figure on my springboard :p
Great find! I just took advantage of this tip. :)
Anyone have a tutorial on how to make a nice shiny OSX style icon? I just tried my company logo, and it looked awful!!
The iPhone / iPod touch software automatically adds the glossy effect and rounded corners to images doesn’t it?
Yup!
Sweet…Ill have to give it another try. The first attempt (http://libguides.com) came out really funky.
Is it necessary that you have to have a MAC to make an iPhone web clip icon?
I do not have a Mac, I use a Dell PC and I can’t seem to figure it out –
PLEASE HELP! Thanks.
