Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

In Matherp's thermostate example the "favicon-icon" is embedded in the HTML-code. I like the approach; no need to keep the favicon.ico in the flash.

How do you make it? Which tools are needed? (I know how to make a custom favicon.ico)

Looks like a base64 (aka b64) tool (I have it on Linux, guess it's widely available for other OSes).

Thanks John!

Googling for base64:

base64 Image Encoder

Made a 16x16 picture in Paint. Saved as png and dropped the file in the base64 Image Encoder, which gave the code (blue text):

Place <link rel="icon"......./> inside the <head>...</head>
