i’d like to have a startup icon without the
gloss created by iOS.<link rel=”apple-touch-icon” href=”images/icon.png”/>
this needs to be changed to something else.
i could edit the file manually – but wouldn’t that effect
the hash value embedded in the manifest file.suggestion.
————-provide a default blank template for the header section
and allow users to edit it.eg.
<head>
<title>@TITLE@</title>
<link rel=”apple-touch-icon” href=”@ICON_IMG@”/></head>
newbie users can use the default.
more advanced users can edit the file – and then the UI
generates the .html along with the correct hash value.<head>
<title>@TITLE@</title>
<link rel=”apple-touch-icon-precomposed” href=”@ICON_IMG@”/></head>
To disable the iOS default styling application icons on the homescreen replace
<link rel=”apple-touch-icon” href=”images/icon.png”/>
with
<link rel=”apple-touch-icon-precomposed” href=”images/icon.png”/>Regarding coding templates this is something we are very interested in introducing.
do you mean to edit the .html after it’s generated by the mobi tool.
that’s a manual process.
and also – doesn’t that effect the hash code in the manifest file.
Option-1: Explict startup image
1) Manually modify the html to use the rel=”apple-touch-icon-precomposed” attribute
2) Touch the manifest by adding or removing 1 whitespace character. This will modify the byte size to the manifest file which is a signal to the mobile safari cache to refresh any changed files.Option-2: Implicit startup image (favico)
1) In your main design file, remove the startup image property
2) rename the startup image file to apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png and copy to the root dir of your web server

I tested this sometime ago and it took me a few tries to get it right. Also I don’t think Test Center support fav icon approach.
