[Zope-dev] Re: favicon.ico for 2.10?

[Chris McDonough]

There's a nice little Mac freeware app named IcoMaker for  
creating .ico files from GIF files.  .ico files are actually  
containers for various icon sizes and color depths and this app  
allows you to create an .ico file out of up to six sizes/depths.  I  
stole the favico from zope.org and made one using IcoMaker with a  
single size/depth (16x16/16colors).  It's attached.  I haven't tried  
it in IE.  If it doesn't work for whatever reason, maybe someone else  
who has more icon-foo can do a more thorough job.
