Favicon
Every site has a favicon. This is a small image (16x16 pixels) that is used to represent your site. The icon appears in your web browser when viewing the site. For example, in Safari, the favicon for a typical site is found here:
Also, while working on a site in Sandvox, the favicon is displayed next to the Home Page in the Site Outline:
To set a site's favicon:
- Open the Site Inspector.
- Go to the Media tab.
-
Drag an image from the Media Browser, the Finder or another application to the "Favicon" box or click the "Choose" button to select a file.
To remove the icon again, click the cross icon next to the box.
Once a site is published, the favicon is 16x16 pixels. If you try to set a larger image for the favicon, Sandvox will automatically resize it for you. However, due to the tiny sizing, this may result in a severe loss of quality, so it's best to use a 16x16 pixel image to start with.
