I was gonna say, I’ve been using the Vista ‘flag’ logo as the favicon on my personal server, and it’s the normal multi-resolution icon, with alpha channel and such, but the webbrowser either automatically uses the 16×16, or sises it down, and displays it. I’d show you, but my server is offline at the moment.

Hey you’re right. Guess my friend Aaron was wrong too. Don’t know why Microsoft didn’t do true colour then.

A favicon needs to be 256 colours, otherwise it won’t be displayed in Internet Explorer.

I’m not too sure but I think “a” favicon is not limited to 256 colors, “the” MS favicon is limited to 256-colors. Because I got the Vista logo icon in all 3 sizes and color depths (XP alpha channel transparency too!) from some MS site a few days back.

In other news, the blog’s favicon has been updated. It wows only a few thousand people.
