Thank you Aleksey for reporting! I didn't knew this use case and the related 256x256 PNG icon.
The problem with PNG icons is that Firefox and Chromes don't support them well. More precisely, they tend to load more icons than needed (see http://realfavicongenerator.net/faq#troubleshootings). So adding a new PNG icon is a dilemma: do we need to support this new platform at the cost of making FF and Chrome load yet another picture for nothing?
The other big candidate at this game is the 228x228 icon for Coast by Opera. At the moment, it is not generated (unless you explicitly request it through the API).
So right now, RFG won't be updated to create the 256x256 icon. But there will be a big "go go go!" the day FF and Chrome eventually support the sizes
attribute correctly!
Oh, I got it. Thanks for informing about this nasty issue! Hope it will be fixed someday.
Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 with latest Chrome and paid attention that to have hi-res and not fuzzy web app icon in applications menu (added with More tools > Create application shortcuts...) you need to generate a 256x256 icon and add it to head along with others:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/favicon-256x256.png" sizes="256x256">
. Currently I'm using it on localhost, though you can test this with Slack (they make use of 256px favicon) and take a look on this issues at Chromium (where 256x256 icons are mentioned). That would be great if you generate this one as well. :) And thanks for the great service!
