How to create a custom home screen icon for your website and where to upload it

I created a joomla 3 site used Icon Slate to size icon but know where to upload the icons. Right now when a user goes to "Add to Home Screen" It just uses a copy of the page they are on.

  • Instructions to create custom home screen icons for websites and phone #'s

    Here are instructions to create a home screen icon for a phone number or a website. This is very cool!
    1. Go to http://webclip.us on your computer (not on your phone) and click on "create now".
    2. In icon label, type what you want to call your icon.
    3. In URL, type either the URL of the website you want to link to, or for a phone number link, type http://##########.tel.QLNK.net (where ########## is the 10 digit phone number you want).
    4. In icon file, click the arrow to browse to the photo or image you want the icon to display.
    5. Enter the security code shown, then click "upload now". You will get a "webclip number".
    6. Now on your iPhone in Safari, go to http://webclip.us and enter the webclip number your computer just generated, and tap Go.
    7. Use the plus sign to add the icon to your home screen, change the name to whatever you want, and you will have a cool little icon with the photo you uploaded!
    If you used the phone number option, when you tap the icon on your home page, it will launch Safari and then pop up "Call" and "Cancel" buttons to call that phone number directly. If you used a website URL, it will launch that website just like a regular webclip.
    So I now have an icon with my husband's face on it that dials his phone number. Very cool!!

    Edit to make it clear that I don't take credit for creating this procedure - I simply found a reference to them in another post and posted the step-by-step here because it worked so well for me.

    Do you know if this requires the 1.1.3 upgrade.. I got all the way through it until the end where it would not give me a plus sign or a way to add it.. wondering if it can be done with 1.1.2 thanks!

  • Custom home screen icon for a webapp.. just like Google - How?

    I noticed that when you add Google to your home screen it displays a custom icon.. not an image of the website like other sites. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to do this for my own webapps. I searched through the Google.com source code but didn't find anything that appeared to have anything to do with that icon.
    Hopefully this is possible for developers. Right now most of my icons are all white and its hard to distinguish which is which without reading the text below it.

    Found it on the iPhone web dev page..
    iPhone and iPod touch allow a user to save a WebClip bookmark to your site on their Home Screen.
    To specify a bookmark icon for all pages of a web site, place a PNG image named "apple-touch-icon.png" at the root directory of your web server - similar to the "favicon.ico" for site icons.
    To override the site bookmark icon on a specific web page, insert a <link> element similar to <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/customIcon.png"/> within the <head> element of the page.
    The bookmark icon dimensions should be 57x57 pixels. If the icon is a different size it will be scaled and cropped to fit.
    Safari will automatically composite the icon with the standard "glassy" overlay so it looks like a built-in iPhone or iPod application.

  • Custom Home Screen Icons

    I was wondering how difficult it was to create Home Screen icons for sites (like Apple and Yahoo! have).
    I am a web designer and graphic artist but I'm not an "app developer." It seems it would just be a matter of creating a square graphic and somehow coding it to download when the "Add to Home Screen" is clicked.
    Is this out of my league? Has anyone here made any?

    In case anyone else is interested, you just need to create a 57x57 pixel graphic file, saved in PNG format, and named apple-touch-icon.png to place in the root directory of your web site. The iPhone will round the corners and add the glossy-looking overlay to the icon.
    If you don't have access to the site's root directory, you can add a link to the file in the head of your HTML page... for example: *<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/apple-touch-icon.png" />*
    Keep in mind, they look best when kept simple.

  • How to create a custom facebook sharing icon? Then a custom twitter sharing icon? Then a pinterest one?

    Hello,
    My question is quite simple :
    I've created a page on my website and I would like that people can share the content of the page (which is a picture) on facebook, twitter and pinterest. I've created my own 3 social icones ready to use. Now, I need to know how can I apply the sharing function to these icons?
    I don't want to use any specific widget because you cannot customize your own icon for example, I would like to learn how to do it by myself on my website. I guess I need to code something but as a beginner, I don't know how to do that. I've visited the facebook developer page but they only purpose solutions with their own social icons. So if anyone can give me some tips, I really appreciate.

    Hi,
    You need to hyperlink your icons, I am adding few codes which might be helpful, use them in hyperlink,
    Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=[URL]&title=[TITLE]
    Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?media=[MEDIA]&url=[URL]&is_video=false&descri ption=[TITLE]
    Twitter: http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?status=[TITLE]+[URL]
    Google+: https://plus.google.com/share?url=[URL]
    Facebook has changed this method, so if the above code doesnot work, please refer to their official documentation JavaScript SDK as explained here php - custom facebook share button - Stack Overflow
    Do let me know if you have any question.

  • Create a custom dock/application icon for .jar files built in eclipse

    I've spent the better part of the afternoon trying to figure out how to apply a custom icon to jar file that I created in eclipse. I am presently using eclipse v3.5 on Mac OS X 10.6.2 and have yet to find a way to change the java coffee cup logo in the document icon for my jar files created in eclipse. Is there some way I can call a specific Apple class in Eclipse to change the dock/application icon of my .jar file?
    I found this link that uses a class that seems to be specific to XCode to change the icon of the .jar file.
    What I mean by change the icon of the jar file, I mean change the icon used in the dock, and also the icon used when the "command+tab" switcher pops up. Presently, I have the black console icon with the text "exec" in the upperleft.
    If anyone has any good links on this topic or even better knows the code I need insert into my program I would be highly greatful.
    cheers

    How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

  • We have one computer with two users how do we use the home sharing icon if it disappears and we can't have itunes on both at the same time

    my dad just got an ipod touch and we used to share one user name and he wanted his own, now he wants to get his songs from my user to his without using CD's, i want to use the Home Sharing, but when i try to the icon disappears and i don't know how to use it.

    With Firefox 23 and TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 installed, an additional box is added to the Tabs options panel that allows 3 options for the tab bar:
    *One is to '''Always''' hide the tab bar. I do not know whether future versions of TabMixPlus will remove that option. I have tested in Firefox 23 and it is possible to completely hide the tab bar regardless of the number of tabs open.
    Other options added in the additional box with TabMixPlus 0.4.1.0 are:
    *Never
    *When I have only one tab

  • How to Create a Custom Title in Motion for FCPx

    I would like to make something like the "torn edge" title in Fcpx with the following animation; it would move up from the horizon at the bottom of the screen, display the appropriate text for its position in the movie timeline and then drop down and disappear, reversing the same motion as it did at the beginning.  No music or sound would be used when the motion happens, but that might be an interesting addition.
    What steps would I do to make this happen.  I'm new to Motion and want to do some fast track learning.
    Would I create the image that I want to animate in photoshop and import it? Or am I way off base?
    Thanks.

    Why go through the trouble? Just use the Torn Edge title and add the animation to it. Start by right-clicking on the Title in the Title browser in FCPX and select Open a Copy in Motion.
    All you need to do is add the animation keyframes to the "components" group (Position > Y). Everything in the title, including the text objects will "follow".
    If you'd like, you could add Build In and Build Out Optional markers giving you the option which animations you want to include. To add "timing" markers, no layers can be selected (so click in the layers list on a space where nothing is listed.) Move the playhead to the frame where the animation ends for the animation in and type M, then type Command-Option-M and from the popup Edit Marker dialog, select Type: Build In Optional. Move the playhead to the frame the animation out starts and do the same except select Type: Build Out Optional.
    When you're finished, Save As if you want to name it something other than Torn Edge copy. You will need to create or select an existing category (but you can ignore the Theme option.)
    It should just take you a few minutes to make the modifications you desire.
    If you would like to "reveal" the text objects instead of having then move up into position, Move the Title Text Here and Subtitle Text Here folders out of the components folder into a New Group (select both objects and drag them over the top group in the layers list and position the mouse over towards the checkbox column -- a new group will be automatically created containing the two text objects). Select the Group object and Command-Shift-M to add an image mask. Into the source well, drop the components folder and turn the components folder back on (adding something as a mask causes it to be turned off automatically.)
    To really sell the effect, option drag the components group above the text group and turn off "Tan bg" and "PaperTorn". (The animations will be copied as well and will match the original group.) You need another copy of the Torn edge to pass over the text...
    You could Save As this variation for yet another separate effect.

  • How-To create a customized Solaris 10 DVD for Sparc with GRUB

    I am currently using Solaris 10 U6 x86 custom jumpstart from DVD. This boot mechanism has always been Grub. I know that Solaris 10 U8 Sparc boot mechanism has been changed to Grub as well. I have referenced an excellent Blueprint on creating customized jumpstart DVD for x86. I am looking for some documentation or Blueprint which describe the similar process for Sparc. I am hoping the mkisofs command options will be the most significant difference between x86 and Sprarc.
    Is there a document which describes the de-composition of the DVD for Sparc based platforms? And the re-assembly of the custom DVD?
    Thanks very much.

  • How i can recover my home screen password for my iphone

    I have an Iphone 4 for my daughter and it is locked and dont remember the password to get in.  Can someone help me please?

    If you forgot your passcode, restore the phone from backup on the last computer it was synced with... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

  • How to create dynamic stamp that will prompt for Cause number and exhibit number?

    I have a need to have a three line custom stamp that will look like the following but will allow a user to input the Cause number then the exhibit number, then successively number exhibits that the stamp is applied to:
    EXHIBIT
    12:74130
    001
    Exhibit will always be the same, but the cause number would need to be modifiable per batch possibly and I would like to be able to update the exhibit number to have a unique number on each page of exhibits....or just each exhibit.
    Can that be done?
    thanks!

    It sounds like you are trying to use a retail serial as an enterprise serial and would like to bypass it's restrictions by deactivating it . . . I assume that's not possible, but perhaps I don't understand your issue.
    I doubt you'll get a good answer on the forum. Try support, your sales rep, or a help link on the licensing web site (if there is one).

  • HOME screen icon problems

    On a web page everytime i click the + button to add it to home screen, it works but now all my icons for each one i bookmark are the same. They used to be snapshots of the webpage mostly or an official icon like google etc. Now its a set of weights for the icon which is annoying as now i ave about 7 with the same icon.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Here is the problem. If the web site does not have a custom made icon in the 'root' directory of their web server, the icon will look like the web page you are bookmarking.
    If you want to add an iPhone/iPod touch Home screen icon for your website, create a 57x57 pixel .png image file, name it "apple-touch-icon.png" and upload it to the 'root' directory of your server.
    Here is one I created for Macsimum News.
    Here is what it looks like on the screen. The iPhone/iPod touch automatically scales the round corners on the image.

  • Quick Question about home screen icons?

    I just upgraded from the 3g to the iphone 4 and was wondering if there are supposed to be home screen icons for Voice Control and FaceTime?

    There are no icons. In Settings > Phone you can activate or deactivate FaceTime: Turn FaceTime on or off.
    To activate Voice Control, press and hold the home button.
