Errr…maybe you should have a favicon for favikon…just a thought! :)

in my defense his comment wasn’t there when I posted mine.
It’s a bit ironic that I’d forget to include a favicon for favikon, huh? Thanks for the reminder :)
Great tool. Its on my favorites right now
Very nice tool!
My suggestion: handle PNG’s alpha!
Great tool and great favicon.
great stuff cory! my suggestion would be to include the ability to change the bg color from black to white.
Thank you for this amazing piece of web. We use this all the time!
And it went right on our frontpage :)

Favikon got a facelift today, as the plain ol’ flat look was starting to get really boring. Adding some life to the interface made me think about how much I can’t wait for CSS3 and SVG support. Multiple bg images, rounded corners, and scalable backgrounds would have made this mini-redesign so much better :)
Eric, to comment on your suggestion: Favikon is currently using the GD library to process images, so we’re kind of stuck with the black background for now. I played with it a bit tonight, but all I could find online led me to the same result…something about having to modify the GD source and recompile…ha! Yeah, right. I hope to port the image processing functions over to ImageMagick eventually, and that will solve the problem for sure. Thanks for the feedback though!
