Site icon

Currently neither dolphin-emu.com or forums.dolphin-emu.com has an icon. Here's a suggested icon for it.

It's a favicon

I've only seen it used as a 16x16 icon, however if it's stored as a .ico file it could contain other formats.

Thanks. I hadn't seen that conversation. I don't agree with the decision to close the thread. The majority of websites now use an icon.

Yes it was traditionally called favicon.ico but is now part of the HTML standard with the <link rel="icon"> syntax. And as pointed out on Wikipedia, if it's a Windows icon the type should be type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon", not type="image/x-icon".

Bump.

Here's how to define the site icon:

PHP-Fusion

Replace "images/favicon.ico". The icon is already defined as <link rel='shortcut icon' href='images/favicon.ico' type='image/x-icon' />, probably in "themes/templates/header.php". That's slightly incorrect HTML though, it should be <link rel='icon' href='images/favicon.ico' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'>

MyBB

Templates > Modify / Delete > Select your theme > headerinclude > Edit

Add <link rel='icon' href='images/favicon.ico' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'> if the site icon is located in 'images/favicon.ico'.

In my opinion, that icon should be used for the program as well, instead of that lame Mario silhouette. But, hey, do want you want.

not at all
all you need is ftp access
and ector seems to be away
fires is pops up once in a while
and falcon...is being falcon :/

and those are the only ones with ftp access

So actually you need someone who have access to put the damn favicon Tongue

I always wondered how the Mario silhouette was not trademark infringement. I guess it goes outside the "identical or confusingly similar" definition. But to be safe we should probably go with the dolphin instead of Mario.
