Notes

  1. When pinned to the Task Bar, Edge picks the Apple Touch icon and keeps its transparency, if any. When pinned to the Start Menu, Edge uses the 150x150 Tile icon and the color declared as msapplication-TileColor in the HTML (not the one in browserconfig.xml), see Issue #331.
  2. Actually, the icon is added to the Task bar, not to the desktop.
  3. When adding a shortcut to the desktop, Firefox creates an icon with huge margins, instead of using the icon in full size. Apparently, there is no way to work around this issue. Even adding mozilla.org to the desktop generates the same result.
  4. When adding a site to the homescreen, Opera creates a link with the icon similar to a local HTML file (eg. if Chrome is configured as the default application to open the HTML files, then the shortcut has the Chrome icon). There is probably no way to work around this issue.
  5. Yandex also uses a particular color as the background of the active tab. It is not clear where this color comes from.
  6. The icon is visible when choosing among the open tabs. In addition, the address bar is the theme_color color of the manifest
  7. At least on the tested device, all icons have rounded corners. Some padding is added to the icon in order to not crop its corners. In addition, when a link is added to the home screen and then the link is opened, Chrome shows a splash screen with the 512x512 icon and the background_color color of the manifest
  8. iOS Safari applies a black background to the Touch icon when it is added to home screen
  9. This icon is displayed when the tab is pinned (ie. sent to far left of the window).
