PicnicTutorials Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) This just took me a few minutes to track down so I thought I'd post it. <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/customIcon.png"/> Basically, on the iPhone when you bookmark a site to the home screen (not the bookmarks section) by default iPhone will take a little screen shot of the website and use that as the little app icon (now on your home page). Some sites have a custom image that takes the screen shots place. No that I know, I'm going to add that to my site. ...I have the iPhone 4! Antenna issues aside, it is the most amazing piece of machinery ever made. I'm in the a star trek episode every time I use it.

PicnicTutorials Posted July 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Actually, you only need to put the icon in your root. No link required. http://vjarmy.com/archives/2008/01/howto_iphone_webclip_icons.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newseed Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Nice Eric. How many iPhone users are there now? My guess is that the number is growing at a good rate that it may become a standard for some web developers and/or businesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how many there are but likely many as it's been the phone to beat 4 years running. Happy 4th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PicnicTutorials Posted July 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Here is what mine looks like. The tuts say to shrink the icon to 57x57. But I actually found that the icon looked much more crisp if I left it at it's original size and let the iPhone shrink it. If you don't want iPhone to crop it make it the same width and height like I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
