Adding a custom iPhone/iPod Touch icon for mControl

October 17, 2008 22:54 by docbliny

Both the iPhone and iPod Touch let you add bookmarks directly to your device's home screen. Adding a bookmark to mControl's mobile.aspx page makes it quicker to access your home automation, and for that reason I tend to walk around with my phone in my pocket even at home.

I also added a custom icon by creating a 57x57 pixel PNG file named "apple-touch-icon.png" and copying it to the WHS machine's C:\Inetpub\wwwroot folder. The "mHome_ThumbVista.png" file in the mControl directory is a good starting point for an image, though you should make it square without the glassy effect for best results.

For more details on creating icons for sites, do a web search for "apple-touch-icon.png" and you should get all the information you need.
