Best Icon App Ive Seen but favicon feature needs updates
In short, stop putting a 1 pixel white border around my 16x16 favicons and also allow for the creation of a bundled ICO.
Long-winded Explanation: When I create a 16x16 favicon, this app always puts a 1 pixel white border around it, replacing the border color I set. Doesnt matter what color I use, or how I save the file from Photoshop. If I wanted a white border, I would have drew one! The other thing is that this app doesnt let me change the image I want to use for the different sizes of the favicon. It just scales down my 48x48 icon for the 32x32 and 16x16, making the smaller sizes blurry. Not a huge deal, I can just make each one separately but a favicon should contain all the various sizes in a single ICO file. So while itd be nice to drag in three different file sizes to generate a single ICO, Id settle for having to create each one separately provided you had a "Merge Favicons" feature. Right now I have to use a separate app, on a Windows machine :( to merge the files so that the appropriate image is used for each size. What am I talking about? When Im on a Windows Computer using Internet Explorer, I see the 16x16 favicon to the left of the sites url. If I drag and drop that icon to my desktop, I get the 48x48 version. The image I had to settle for at 16x16 isnt the image I have to settle for at 48x48. I have the opportunity to make a nicer icon for that size because I have more pixels to work with. If all the ICO variations are in a single file, the correct image will show up at the various sizes the icon can be displayed, whether its on the desktop or listed smaller in a details view. Fix that white border problem and allow for merging different sized ICOs into a bundled ICO and thered be no other app that could touch this one.
