I’ve been implementing some branding updates over at the [Infinite Flight Community](https://community.infinite-flight.com) 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.

For the icon, you should add a 512x512 PNG in the `large icon url` site setting for optimal results.

For the background color of the splash screen, it’s set to `header_background` color of you default theme.

Thanks, that solved it - the `large icon url` setting name wasn’t the most obvious 🙂

I agree!

@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`.

That should be enough for new users to see, thanks again for your help!

Cool!

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.
