Jonathan T. Neal | Understand the Favicon When Alec Rust asked the HTML5 Boilerplate project to switch to a HiDPI favicon, I realized how little I knew about favorite icons, touch icons, and tile icons. When I decided to dive in a little deeper, things got interesting. The classic favicon.ico is a 16×16 ICO file, often served in either 16-color or 24bit alpha-transparency format. More recently, favicons have been served as 32×32, which is appropriately scaled down in all major and popular-legacy browsers. The rel attribute of a favicon is a product of evolution. The type attribute of a favicon is about as useful as the type attribute of a <script>. Good news, everyone! Bad news, everyone! This really depresses me, because Chrome, Firefox, Opera 7+, and Safari 4+ all accept the PNG favicon, but Chrome and Safari will opt to use the ICO favicon when both are presented, regardless of the order in which they are declared. How do these PNG-favicon-compatible browsers determine which favicon should be used? One. You. Related Articles

40 nouveaux packs d'icônes flat design à découvrir Le flat design connaît un succès fulgurant au sein de la communauté du Web design. Le flat n'en est qu'à ses débuts et aucun indice ne préfigure un abandon soudain de ce courant faisant la part belle aux couleurs vives, à la typographie et à l’espace. Dans cet article, j’ai rassemblé une importante collection d’icônes flat pour la conception de vos futures interfaces graphiques. De plus en plus d’applications Web adoptent ce concept. L’emploi d’icônes originales, les variations de couleurs, l’utilisation harmonieuse de photographies et de fontes sont les seuls moyens à notre disposition pour sortir du lot. Un designer se doit d’avoir un certain nombre d’astuces pour effectuer en temps et en heures son travail. Pas la peine de culpabiliser, cette technique est très utile lorsqu’il s’agit de prototyper les premiers intentions graphiques.

A Minimalistic Look at Man’s Best Friend – Illustrations by Josh Brill Article by Hyathiz I love my dogs, reading books, and taking great pictures with my battered but still functional digital camera.

Cikonss | Pure CSS Responsive Icons Special Characters for HTML, CSS and JS My name is Neal Chester and I'm a web developer and consultant.

When I surfed the Web, I always ran into 3 problems with character listings: They contained tons of characters I didn't useThere was no one list that brought together all the characters I neededThe fonts were too small and the page was difficult to use So I made my own listing page containing the best HTML characters I felt would be useful to everyone, especially web developers. I grouped them into sections and included the HTML, CSS and JS name & number codes for your convenience. Rendering Characters As you'll notice, some characters will render differently depending on the browser. Depending on the browser, some characters won't display. Therefore, it's important to view the characters in different browsers and mobile devices to determine if you want to use that character. Next, markup your HTML as follows.
