Nope. *brrzt!* Wrong! You need to throw a "favicon.ico" file in the root of your domain. (You CAN override/change it via HTML for particular files... I don't know the syntax offhand.) A .ico is, of course, a MICROS~1 WINDOWS icon file. Getting one that works just right can be a little tricky. I use some NetPBM tool or something to tweak mine. (It's been a while. BillsGames.com, LUGOD.org and NewBreedSoftware.com all have their own icons. The latter two are ones I whipped up in The GIMP and then converted.) Konqueror supports icons, too. It's actually kind of a nice feature. Gives extra feedback when browsing a list of URLs in history/pulldowns/etc., as well as when looking at your taskbar. (The program with the "/." icon is Konqueror visiting some page on Slashdot. The one with the penguin is a LUGOD.org page. And so forth) -bill! _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
