Ive created a 64x64 favicon for a site im making and its displaying fine. But then in Google Chrome when i press "Create Application Shortcut" it resizes the favicon down to [what looks like] 16x16 for the desktop/taskbar icon it makes. This looks really silly - so how do I make Chrome not resize it, and end up with a nice clear, non blurry icon?
You can't make an application not resize a 64x64 image when it's displaying it in a 16x16 space.
Are you using a real favicon.ico, or a different image format? ICO files can contain different images with different sizes and colour depths in the same file. Add a 16x16 that looks clear rather than blurry, and add it to the ICO file.
