I’ve been implementing some branding updates over at the Infinite Flight Community recently. One of these was adjusting the header colour and icons.
Our “logo small” is now light-on-dark, which looks good on the Discourse end. However, some of our users have used the “add to home screen” functionality on Chrome on Android (may be present in other aosp-based browsers too, haven’t confirmed). It turns out that “logo small” is used as the icon when added to the home screen; this icon is then showed on the Chrome loading screen if opened from the home screen icon:
This doesn’t look very good. On iOS we have the “apple touch icon” option which can be changed, but as far as I can tell, there isn’t a way to separate the small icon from the Chrome home screen icon. Ideally I’d like to set this icon with a background colour, or to use our inverted icon.
Is there any way around this? Apologies if this is a duplicate as I couldn’t find anything else on this topic.
@techAPJ just added support for this icon in the wizard last week, so now people who are just setting up Discourse fill this early on at /wizard/steps/icons.
I’m really enthusiastic about using Discourse with “Add to home screen” + push notifications. (did you enable push notifications prompt in your instance?).
Eager for feedback in this area, which I think can really help in engagement metrics.
It’s not something we have enabled yet but I will bring it up with the team, cool initiative for those who haven’t got the app nice work as always, guys!
