Is there a way to force Internet Explorer and Edge to use a particular favicon for the address bar/tab icon?
In general I'm using a different design (with a wider margin) for "live tile" (or whatever Microsoft calls them)... and for some reason these browsers keep choosing one of those images (defined in browserconfig.xml or one of the Apple icons... not sure) to use in the address bar.
This is not what I want, because the one in the address bar/tab icon needs to have a smaller margin and transparent background.
Is there a safe and consistent method to say "use this icon for the address/tab bar icon", and "use this icon for the tile or whatever?"
EDIT: Another acceptable workaround for this would be if there was a way to specify that the images with a background/margin would ONLY be used for "tile" so that the others would be favicon(s) only? I don't fully understand what logic IE/Edge use to choose which icon to display.
The favicon package generated by RealFaviconGenerator behaves the way you want: In its tabs, Edge picks the classic "desktop" icon, while it uses the tile icons for sites added to home screen. More precisely, Edge is using the classic 32x32 PNG icon as the tab icon.
I advice you to first run the compatibility test with Edge on your machine to make sure it behaves as described above (I didn't have a Surface tablet or something like this to test it).
Full disclosure: I'm the author of RealFaviconGenerator.

I have an image being displayed on a webpage, I need that image to have a chrome effect. Whenever I Google anything with the word "Chrome", it just brings up results linked to Google Chrome browser - which is not what I am after
It is used for a car dealerships website to make the first featured image stand out.
This is what they already use (which they manually add the Chrome effect to on Paintshop Pro), I would like the website to use this effect using CSS (or another language if easier)
ORIGINAL IMAGE: https://f7432d8eadcf865aa9d9-9c672a3a4ecaaacdf2fee3b3e6fd2716.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/C642/U1793/IMG_7200-large.jpg

If anyone has any Advanced CSS to add this Chrome filter to the image, to make it like the above as possible, that would be great
I use a program called Organizr that runs in the browser and in order to make it easier to use I use the create shortcut option in chrome and check the box to have it open as a window. This is nice because it doesn't have the address bar/tabs/bookmarks bloat from the main browser but the issue is that it has a wide white bar across the top with site information, and it doesn't go away when I make the window fullscreen which is problematic since I use Organizr to access my Plex library and watch videos. Can anyone advise on how to hide/remove this info bar from the window?
There's the thin bar at the very top that just says Organizr and that is fine, but the bar below it with the (i) and it says Organizr V2 and localhost is what I'm talking about.
(This is a repost from https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/8422935?hl=en)
I'm late here and what I'm going to propose here is not even a real solution because it slightly change the window's top bar (at least on edge chromium it becomes white and you can't manage anymore addons and other things):
add this option --app=https://www.yoursitehere.domainhere (replace yoursite.domainhere with the link of the site you want see as app) to the destination (in shortcut property).
If you find any other solution would be awesome
So I'm trying to develop a webapplication and I'm trying to check it out on mobile.
I'm currently using Cordova and JQuery Mobile together with ripple.js to view my application in my browser.
The first issue (as far as I know) is that ripple.js will work best in Google Chrome, so this is my only test platform.
The second issue is that when I toggle Device Mode on, it doesn't show me the black dot (cursor) when I enter the rendered version.
I'll explain my situation or a scenario:
As an example I'll go to http://google.com
I press F12 to enter developer mode
I click the Toggle Device Mode button
I will see my cursor, until I enter the generated mobile canvas. While I would normally see a black transparant dot, I now see nothing.
I can however click and drag like I would normally do, but I can't see what I'm doing.
The things I already tried:
Reset all the flags back to default
Reset all developer tool settings to default
(edit) Installed a previous version of Chrome AND Chromium
So question is, how do I get my cursor back?
Extra: I'm using version 49.0.2623.87 m, but that's not related since my co-worker, has the same version and he sees the cursor.
(edit) currently I'm using the mouse option where I press Ctrl to see the circle which indicates where my cursor is, but this really has to be a temp solution.
(edit) I fixed it by doing a combination of things. So I'm not sure which exact thing fixed it. I removed a few programs that I installed after it still worked. I uninstalled about 4 of them. Also I did an update of my graphics card and then did a reboot. So it could be either the graphics card update, the software uninstall and/or the reboot.
I had the same issue. (note this question might be a duplicate of this one)
Following the advice on the Chrome forum here I changed the Quantization Range in my Intel HD Graphics Control Panel from "Default Range" to "Full Range". The touch pointer (grey circle) appeared immediately.
If that doesn't help you may have to change refresh rate too. Changing from 59p Hz to 60p Hz or some other refresh rate might help.
This should also help.
Open the mouse control panel.
Select the Pointer Options tab in the Mouse Properties window.
Then enable Display pointer trails option.
In case you don't like or are getting annoyed, like me, due to the trailer. Move the slider to the Short position and the trailer becomes near to non-existent or invisible.
I fixed it myself, yet I'm not exactly sure how I did it. I edited my original post and added the solution in the last paragraph.
Had the same on my Asus laptop with Chrome 66
Resolution that worked for me
Graphics Control Panel > Display > General Settings > Scaling > Change to Scale full screen.
OFF your Asus Eye Care Switcher.
I am posting this as answer because above mentioned answer didn't work for me but I had this issue when I had a monitor attached to my laptop, for development work. I played around with my display settings and discovered that IF the scale on my second monitor did not match the scale on my laptop, the mobile development mode cursor would disappear. (windows 10)
If this is an issue for anyone just go into Display settings -> Display -> Scale and Layout --> make sure that both your laptop/desktop matches the display scale of your second monitor.
Hope this will help.
Google Chrome shows a gray circle cursor when dev tools is active. Why is this happening and how do I make this stop?
Nov 29th, 2017 Update:
Quick Update brought to you by #Howdy_McGee.
Chrome 62 you have to Add Device Type, there's no longer an option for Show Device Type.
Why is this happening?
As Randy Hall points out below "This cursor indicates a "touch", such as your finger, for emulating touch events in (the) Chrome browser."
July 20th, 2017 Update: (version 59.0.3071.115) Just checking in again, looks like the below is still valid even through a bunch of Chrome updates. They have changed the wording of Show device type to Add device type. I've changed the wording below, but the image does not reflect the change.
They have also changed the way the device type settings work, explained below.
Once in responsive mode (via F12, then ctrl + shift + m) you will need to select the settings section indicated by the 3 grey circles, then select Add device type. Once you do this, a new drop down will appear next to the dimensions area, select Mobile (no touch). I imagine they did this so that you don't have to keep it on desktop and adjust the user agent type to a mobile device as I've described below.
What do the Device Types mean?
As of today (July 20th, 2017), the same settings for device type exist (as shown in the image above), but they work a bit differently than previously before:
Mobile: Now scales the content on the page when resizing the window (to accurately simulate pixel density on a mobile device). The circle that replaces your mouse, simulates a screen touch action when clicking (full fledged mobile development / testing).
Mobile (no touch): Also scales the content on the page when resizing the window, but continues to use your regular mouse cursor for your click actions.
Desktop: Does not scale content, uses regular mouse cursor (full fledged desktop development / testing).
Desktop (touch): Also does not scale content, but replaces your regular mouse cursor with a circle that will simulate screen touches on click.
But I still want to emulate a specific mobile device...
There is still a way to override the user-agent with this Mobile (no touch) setting set. When you're looking at your console (brought up via F12), you'll see the 3 vertical circles there next to the console tab, click them and bring up Network Conditions. Within this section you'll see that User agent is set to Select Automatically, just turn this off and use the drop-down to change to the user-agent you want to emulate as. This will allow you to emulate as a specific mobile device.
This cursor indicates a "touch", such as your finger, for emulating touch events in Chrome browser.
In the dev tools window, click the settings (gear) button in the bottom right. Go to the Overrides tab and disable Emulate touch events.
I'm posting this here because it took me a LONG while to find it via searches, and I know others have been having the same issue.
Update via Paulo Manuel Santos' comment:
From Chrome 32 the Emulation is configured in a different place. This is how I get to it: Elements, press Esc, Emulation, Sensors, Emulate touch screen
At july 2017 this option calls Add device type:
On Chrome 50 it seems the Emulation option is not available..
My workaround was to add a custom device with the 'Mobile (no touch)' option..
When you click this ICON to activate (change to blue); The Grey Circle CURSOR will appear as representing finger touch for devices, and Deactivating this will simulate desktop version and Showing POINTER Cursor.
None of the above answers worked for me... So after clicking the aforementioned 3 dots in the bottom right corner, I selected Settings and then Restore defaults and reload
It's not a clean solution, but I had just to choose a new dock side position and then I was back to work
Just deselect the Toggle device toolbar

I am working on Tizen. Developing an application on Tizen which has been already developed by me on Android.
I have to place an image in the background.and then place button on it. Click on that button and receive its action in javascript.
How can I place image in the background.
Is their any way to transfer android application on Tizen platform.
Can we make our android application on Tizen?
background-image in CSS can do it.
E.g. put mesh_background_1280x720.jpg into images directory than fix your style.css:
body {
background-image: url("../images/mesh_background_1280x720.jpg");
}
For me this works.
You can do it by using Jquery Mobile.
.ui-icon-myapp-custom {
background: url("settings.png") no-repeat rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4) !important;
}
in HTML,
<a href="#user_info" data-role="button" data-theme="b" data-iconpos="right" data-icon="myapp-custom" >
Custom Icon
</a>
For detail, check
http://jquerymobile.com/test/docs/buttons/buttons-icons.html
Currently there is no support in Tizen SDK to convert Android app to Tizen. But there is a way. A company Open Mobile developed ACL(Application Compatible Layer) for tizen. If you have Android app, you can submit it to them, they can convert it for Tizen. All application credit will be name on you. They will get a amount from samsung. Search ACL in Tizen store, you will find several application under ACL.
I can tell you how to do this using Tizen Native (WYSIWYG). If you are seeking a code based answer, then ignore this. HOWEVER, for those trying to learn and navigate within Tizen Studio this is very helpful!
Start Tizen Studio
File/New Tizen Project
Template / Next
Mobile / Next
Native Application / Next
UI Builder Single View (Bottom Left) / Next
In the Project Explorer (Top Left) open the tree to Layout / Layout.xml (Double click to open the Layout).
Choose Design Tab (Center)
In Palette , UI Container (just to right of center)
Drag "Grid" from the Palette onto your screen
In Properties Tab (far right or turn on: Window/ Show View/ Other/ choose properties OK)
Change Col Count to 720 and Row Count to 1280
Drag "Grid" from the Palette onto your screen
Now you should see more (22) UI Components
Drag "Background" from the Palette onto your screen
If it does not automatically resize (Hello BUG) then do the following. Drag to a little LARGER then your screen size (assuming HD, Look into this I think this is REQUIRED by the Tizen Store).
With Background highlighted, again go to Properties Tab, bottom Variation Attributes make:
Left 0, Top 0, Width 720, Height 1280. The first few times it will give you trouble until you figure out that the BG resized window can't go higher than the BLUE TOP and the window should be larger on the bottom, until you manually type in the CORRECT SIZE as shown above.
Now go to or open your Resource Tab (just drag and drop files here from Windows Explorer) and find your background image that you already RESIZED CORRECTLY in Adobe PS and used SAVE FOR WEB to reduce jpg file size.
Drag onto Background "layer" on your Screen.
For a button you can:
Drag "BUTTON" from UI components onto Background OR BETTER is to drag "IMAGE" from UI components onto Background...
Then drag and drop (PRE-MADE BUTTON from Adobe PS) image from the Resource Manager Tab onto the empty image place holder. You will have to resize it manually in the Properties Tab to get the correct proportions.
REPEAT for more Images and Buttons and Text since the built in text "Label" is horrible to say the least. You can always make any of these do Button Actions.
This is as far as I have come, now I need to learn how to program said buttons and actions.
Whew! This will save you many weeks!
Wish I had found a step by step like this!
