Opera speeddial1/30/2024 For margin size I took inspiration from the default settings of, which created 180 px icons that had 156 px images + 12 px margin around them (12/156 = 7.7% of base image). Source file again with transparent background, but with a margin added. In the section “Favicon for Windows 8 – Tile” I left the default “Use the original favicon as is” and again set the tile color to #ffffff.įor compression, I had “High quality, low compression factor.”įor scaling algorithm, Lanczos seemed to do the best job with my image. In my case, the image had plain white background, so in the section “Favicon for iOS – Web Clip” I chose “Add a solid, plain background to fill the transparent regions” and set the color to #ffffff. Icons for web clips on iOS home screen need backgrounds and handling of them depends on the specifics of the image. The image fills the space edge-to-edge – this is important to get the best quality for tiny sizes like 16 x 16 px. Source file with transparent background, no margin. To get the best results, I ran it twice and used a combination of images from the two sets. Luckily, I discovered Real Favicon Generator that does it in an automated way, meaning, it does both the image files and the HTML that goes with them. Altogether about 20 different image files, which would take half a day to create manually with an image editor. Turns out, there is a wide variety of favicons in use: the tiny 16 by 16 px ones in address bars and bookmark lists, medium sized ones used as icons for web page shortcuts on desktops, and 180 by 180 px and larger images used by Opera Speed Dial, Windows 8 tiles etc. What Opera uses is basically a flavor of favicon, the tiny icon often seen in the title of tabs, next to page title text. Figuring out the way from Before to After was quite an effort. My site displayed the screenshot (the lower left image labeled Before), but I wanted it to show the icon (the lower center image labeled After). I noticed that some pages are displayed as screenshots, while others display a neat icon. Upon opening a new blank tab, it shows Speed Dial – large buttons that link to pages recently visited or deliberately added to Speed Dial.
