How can the top skinning site not have a FavIcon?

I take it you mean an icon that shows up in IE's favorites menu rather than the standard IE page icon? Like DeviantArt's icon?

Except it doesn't look like deviantART has a FavIcon, either.

Sure DA does. Gotta bookmark the root (www.deviantart.com) though.

I did bookmark the root, and still didn't get a FavIcon. I even ran it through FavOrg and it didn't find one, either.
Okay, just ran it through FavOrg again, and this time it got it. Must have had a hiccup last night when I tried it.
Pretty cool icon.

Alex, is there a 32x32 icon in the .ico file as well as the 16x16. Because places as a shortcut (32x32) the icon's colors seem distorted a bit.
Otherwise, it's very nice.

Tarkus,
What's FavOrg??? I like the idea of the icons but they ALWAYS seem to disappear from my system usually after a reboot...I know others have had the same problems but I've never come across a fix for this problem.
Anyone out there able to help???

yes people, favIcons are a good idea, yet as of today (IE 5.x) it just doesn't work right.

targus,
Thanks, I was just lazy...
I take it by e-roz's post there's still no definitive fix for the disappearing icon problem though???

RobbieRobb: No, I don't think so. I think IE stores FavIcons in the cache and they get purged along with everything else.
I just run FavOrg when I notice some FavIcons gone or if I haven't ran it in awhile, and that does the trick.

Yep, I just installed it and ran it. It didn't find the wincusto icon so I deleted the bookmark, logged out of here, re-accessed site, bookmarked it and there it was. Apparently it'll only do it from the default layout for some reason...

Nope, it worked for me, and I don't use the default.
