Is there any way to apply a apple-touch-icon.png the same way as favicon in TW5?

Looks like crap when I save to desktop on iPad :D

Yes, I do get the favicon to work, I just like something as nice an my iPads homescreen. Or do You mean I can just name it $:/apple-touch-icon.png and it will work? I did not try that...

It should be named $:/favicon.ico

Note that because .png is not vector based (like .svg... and, btw, I don't think favicons can be in .svg), your image has to be in a good size. I think it is 16'16px or 32'32px. Otherwise you will get bits compressing with ugly results.

Yes the favicon works, but the Homescreen on iPhone and iPad uses a file called apple-touch-icon.png.

Only newer Firefox can use .svg as favicon, no one else display it.
