Favicon Maker

Favicon Maker will quickly create a set of very simple favicons from a template. See screenshots below.

Usage

$ git clone https://github.com/at1as/favicon_maker
$ cd favicon_maker
$ cargo run

Configuration

See src/conf.json:

{
  "sizes": [
    {"pixels": 16,  "format": "jpg"},
    {"pixels": 512, "format": "jpg"},
    {"pixels": 512, "format": "png"}
  ],
    "text": "FM"
}

• Text
  • The text to display on the favicon (works best with 2 or 3 characters)
• Sizes
  • list of desired format and pixel size combinations (not favicons are square, "pixels" represents both the horizontal and vertical dimensions)

Command Line Parameters

As different font characters will have different widths

$ cargo run {horizontal offset as percent (default: 0%)} {horizontal scaling factor as percent (default 80%)}


# For Example: 
#   this line would shift the characters left by 10% of the favicon width
#   and scale the favicon text to 60% of the favicon width

$ cargo run 10 60

Example Output

Example – Output Scaled

cargo run versus cargo run 0 65

• Horizontal Shift : 0%
• Horizontal Scale : 65%

Example - Output Shifted

cargo run versus cargo run 30

• Horizontal Shift : 30%
• Horizontal Scale : 80% (the default. The above is idential to cargo run 30 80)

Notes:
