New favicon?

I couldn't find XF is my bookmarks bar

Everyone's probably excited that they're running XF 2.2 now.

It's most likely a small UI adjustment in 2.1.9 to match their new homepage though.

Looks like it's still in beta, can't wait for the full release!

Nope

Nope

But... if speculation in this thread were true about a beta upgrade to v2.2, it might indeed be related to the "connectivity issues" reported in the thread I linked.

TBH I liked the original one better.

 

[TickTackk]

Same.

I hope version 2.2 finally has a cache management that lets us delete ALL cache folders or tables and then rebuild them. If you only made upgrades since version 2.0.10, but always tested your own templates and then deleted them in the ACP, you now have a lot of garbage in the cache folders and imho "sometimes some" unexplainable side effects.

What does that have to do with the favicon?

Ideally they would keep the "xF" labelled one for smaller resolutions and go with the full text on larger sized ones. The full text on the tab is just not readable, especially when covered by a notification dot it's just like: "What is is this tab again?"

On larger resolutions it's doing quite well, although the notification icon there is in pretty bad shape and could use a do-over. It's probably a browser quirk that can't be avoided, but if we could avoid having the icon show anywhere but on the tab bar, that'd probably be the best solution.

Some things should not be messed with. The original favi is better.

Yes, it's almost like the site has been rebranded.

Yes, it's almost like the site has been rebranded.

Indeed. It was perfect and legible. Wut's next? The iconic logo?

 

[AndyB]

Please go back to the original favicon. The current favicon is not legible even on a retina display.

Thank you.

 

[Lawrence]

Have to agree with @AndyB. The favicon is not legible for these old eyes,

To properly work at multiple resolutions and various apple/android/MS tablets you kinda need a stanza like the following;

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="57x57" href="/apple-touch-icon-57x57.png?v={$versionId}">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="60x60" href="/apple-touch-icon-60x60.png?v={$versionId}">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="/apple-touch-icon-72x72.png?v={$versionId}">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="76x76" href="/apple-touch-icon-76x76.png?v={$versionId}">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="/apple-touch-icon-114x114.png?v={$versionId}">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="120x120" href="/apple-touch-icon-120x120.png?v={$versionId}">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="144x144" href="/apple-touch-icon-144x144.png?v={$versionId}">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="152x152" href="/apple-touch-icon-152x152.png?v={$versionId}">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="/apple-touch-icon-180x180.png?v={$versionId}">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-32x32.png?v={$versionId}" sizes="32x32">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/android-chrome-192x192.png?v={$versionId}" sizes="192x192">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-96x96.png?v={$versionId}" sizes="96x96">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-16x16.png?v={$versionId}" sizes="16x16">
<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json?v={$versionId}">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico?v={$versionId}">
<meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="{$backgroundColor}">
<meta name="msapplication-TileImage" content="/mstile-144x144.png?v={$versionId}">

Rather than just set a single complex icon everywhere.
