iphone forum link please
« on: August 04, 2010, 08:26:49 pm »

i saw this mentioned somewhere but my searching is weak, anyhoo this is how to make a shortcut pic for us iphone users if its do-able on this forum


instruction copied from another forum;
All you need to do is create a square 45 x 45 pixel icon  .PNG image and save it as apple-touch-icon.png and put it in the root directory of the forum hosting. The iPhone OS will automatically give it round edges and the glass effect.

we then just save a shortcut to the iphone homepage and the byoac logo will appear like an app, but of course is just a quick way of opening the phones browser to byoac

 :cheers:
got COLOR codes from projects, post them here

hmm, if it's 45x45 pixels , could i get some sort of art software and just draw it pixel by pixel, cos i could manage that, any suggestions of what software i could use for this would be good, i'm a bit slow with computers?

Here's 4 I whipped up. I'm quite fond of the BOYAChad icon, and hope you pick it.  If you have an idea for a better icon, I can probably make it.

If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.
