Tinycon

A small library for manipulating the favicon, in particular adding alert bubbles and changing images. Tinycon gracefully falls back to a number in title approach for browers that don't support canvas or dynamic favicons.

See the Live Demo here.

Documentation

Tinycon adds a single object to the global namespace and does not require initialisation.

Basic Usage

    Tinycon.setBubble(6);

Options

Tinycon can take a range of options to customise the look

• width: the width of the alert bubble

• height: the height of the alert bubble

• font: a css string to use for the fontface (recommended to leave this)

• colour: the foreground font colour

• background: the alert bubble background colour

• fallback: should we fallback to a number in brackets for browsers that don't support canvas/dynamic favicons

    Tinycon.setOptions({
      	width: 7,
    	height: 9,
    	font: '10px arial',
    	colour: '#ffffff',
    	background: '#549A2F',
    	fallback: true
    });
