TW5 favicon: other formats: .png .svg

[Mohammad]

As we know, TW5 can show a favicon using an ico file named $:/favicon.ico

Most high quality ico are large in size and there are not free ones on the net.

My question is, can we use .png file instead of .ico file? e.g $:/favicon.png?

It seems almost all browser nowadays support .png and some support .svg

look at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon

The tiddler title needs to be $:/favicon.ico, but the content doesn't need to be in .ico format.

If you put an image file into a tiddler and then rename the tiddler to $:/favicon.ico so far it has worked for me with jpg, png and gif images. I haven't gotten svg to work yet but I think that is a browser issue, not a tiddlywiki issue.

The only other limit I have run into is that it can't be a _canonical_uri tiddler
