#34 favicon support

[Anonymous]

It would be a nice frill to have some favicon support.

(You know, those icons you get in your firefox tabs or
IE/firefox bookmarks.)

I was thinking something really simple like a default
favicon being supplied in template/en/default. If the
user wants a different one, they can put it in
template/en/custom. (Depending on how this all works,
it could require that install.pl be run for this to
take effect.)

I've hacked it into my codestriker 1.9.0 installation
by putting a favicon.ico in the html directory and
modifying lib/Codestriker/Http/Response.pm as follows,
but it's not a good permanent solution.

Near the bottom of
sub generate_header {

I simply added the code
print "<link rel=\"shortcut icon\"
href=\"../codestrikerhtml/favicon.ico\" >

That seems ok to me - but the real issue is, what is a good
favicon.ico file to sue for Codestriker? Can you provide one?

I don't really have a good open-source one. I did a little
screen capture of a pair of glasses ("examining the code"?)
from a piece of commercial software. So that's not a good
open-source solution. I'm no artist, so it just wasn't a
good use of my time to spend lots of it trying to make a
really bad icon. ;-)

NO, I was wrong. I took the little eyeglasses icon from the
Thunderbird default theme, "mark (as read ...)" menu. It's
not the perfect icon, but it would do as a first stab at it.
It was designed by Arvid Axelsson; you could contact him at
http://www.quadrone.org/ . Actually, he might even do a
special Codestriker one: from the website, he seems like a
pretty enthusiastic young fellow.
