WD9 Corrupted Favicon

**iannicholson** · 11 April 2013, 03:09 AM

Hi Again!

Getting well and truly stuck into WD9 - and enjoying it!

Found a glitch...

I've used the favicon feature many times before in WD7, 8 etc with no problem. I just drop an image - any size - usually onto the pastboard area, right click it, select Names and add the name 'favicon'.

So far so good.

However, on publishing, the favicon icon show vertical lines running through it. Tried several images, same result. I even tried an actual favicon-sized gif image (16x16) - still corrupted. I guess I'll do it the old-fashioned way (www.favicon.cc) but is there some chance this can be fixed?

Or... are there some new rules around favicon creation..?

Thanks!

Ian

Yes I now see this in Chrome browser only..
All other browsers are fine.. So it appears there's something Google chrome no longer likes.

Hi again Sledger!

Yes, I am indeed using Chrome.

Man, you're a MACHINE!!

Do you ever sleep?

(Or are you really a machine?

)

All the best,

Ian

I probably sleep the same time as you do (you're in North Sydney, correct? I'm in Far Nth QLD)

I have published several sites and the Favicon in Chrome is fine in Windows 8 64-bit

Sledger and anyone else see if the favicon is OK in your Chrome http://www.placitasartists.com/Placitas-Art-Glass/

Here's how it looks in Chrome for me Gary.

Your site doesn't load properly here Gary. It's as if you are updating it at the moment?

I'll check again in the morning.

Meanwhile, how do these links compare in Chrome for you?

Check diff in Google Chrome (I have Version 26.0.1410.64 m)

Looks fine ► http://xara-users.magix.net/public/favicon/v8/

Not fine ► http://xara-users.magix.net/public/favicon/v9/
Not fine ► http://xara-users.magix.net/public/favicon/v9-32bit/

Version 26.0.1410.64 m

I can confirm you results

The Internet seems slow this morning. It took a bit of time for my home page to load. So maybe the page you captured was taking some time to load. The background loads first and that is what you have in your screen capture.
