in his 'spare time '



Quite a few sites that I go to come with an individualized icon when you add it to your favorites.

How about the turbo for us?

All 'pends on browser. It is a V Icon as of the moment but isn't that a I. E 6. 0 + thing? That would be sweet!!!!



And uhh steve Make it Spin Blink and play music too

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

How's that guys?

 

[illflem]

I deleted tdr from my favorites then readded it, still getting the Explorer 'E' on a page for the icon.

I'm I missing something?

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

You'll need to close IE and then reopen it. Also it will only come up on your favorites and occasionally on the address bar. They've not done a real good job of how it picks it up - it relies on the cache on your PC and only on favorites. You can get it to appear in the address bar if you point at the IE icon and press and hold shift, press and hold your left mouse button and then drag the icon into the browser window below. That will refresh the icon for that page. Every other page it won't show up on though.

Got it now, thanks Steve



Hate to be a whiner but when I put the icon on my desktop it's very blurred, can't even read TDR.

I get this #ad






I thought it would be something like this #ad




Am I doing something wrong, or what?

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

That's in your cache cowboy medic, it's the old forum logo. Delete the TDR forums from your favorites, close IE, and then add them back to your favorites, then close IE and reopen it again. You should get the new icon.

 

[E7mack96]

got it to work.



I then copied a shortcut from Favorites to the desktop. The image of the logo looks crappy. Can someone make a better resolution icon?



Don't mean to offend anyone, but I like the idea of the logo, but only if it is a crisp image, like all the other Icons.

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

The icon is only 16x16 pixels and 16 colors - which is TINY! It's pretty hard to do much with an image that small. If some can come up with a better image I'd be glad to use it.

 

[E7mack96]

can you make an Icon that is the size of a desktop icon. It is bigger than 16x16.



Thanks,



E7

I found that by dragging Fritz's ramhead icon onto the desktop it gets blurred also but the icons from a couple other sites stay crisp, must be way to do it.

E7, the new tdr turbo stays clear if you drag it to your quick launch toolbar.
