Different Favicon per theme?

[nekobot]

This is the code I'm using


<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.iconj.com/ico/4/u/4udb4rr9n1.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

Nekobot, You could do what Azayles suggested and use a transparent image in the default slot and then add the image you want via the wrapper template for all your themes, if we can't figure this out. (Good idea, Azayles!)

Then I wouldn't have a favicon at all, because it doesnt show the one I have in the code, unless i refresh the page.

Hey, Tumbles  

The behaviour I'm seeing on S to S is thus:

• Chrome for Windows 10 and Chrome for Android: Displays S only icon regardless of page or refreshes.
• Internet Explorer and Edge on Windows 10: Displays only Diamond icon regardless of page or refreshes. 
• Stock browser for Android: Displays the Diamond icon initially, the S icon after a page refresh, then the S icon thereafter, regardless of page or refreshes.

Now, that S icon is listed last in the DOM, so to show this icon and ONLY this icon is correct behaviour (Thumbs up to Chrome). IE and Edge, it seems, only expect one icon, so they're displaying the very first one they come across, and ignoring everything else.
I don't know what the stock browser in Android is doing.  I really don't think you're gonna be able to do this without the two icons fighting ech other, and this will always be down to certain browsers saying "Screw you, W3C!" and doing their own thing anyway. What works perfectly in one browser, will fail in another. And I don't think there are vendor prefixes for this sort of thing.

 

Hey thanks for taking a look. I am getting the diamond one (just grabbed it as it was about the right size) on IE too. Nothing was showing on IE for the ones put in specific themes.

Appreciate it and I guess I officially give up.  Sorry, nekobot and thanks for posting exactly what you are using. I guess that idea Azayles had, although a good idea, wouldn't work.

It is a crying shame It would work, and work beautifully, were it not for browser incompatibilities. The last icon in the list should be the last one to be displayed, according to the DOM specifications, so basically it isn't working because certain browsers are doing it wrong.
In short, it's the browser that's wrong, not our code.
Good work though team! Bloody good effort!

That's okay. I'll still use the code on all the themes so it will show at least part of the time. thank you for all your guys's help and time spent trying to fix this. you guys are amazing. Thank you so much.
