Create a Custom iPhone Web Clips Icon
Posted in Apple by Dan at 1:31 am
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.

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?

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.
