Alias icon not showing
hamradio:
The custom icons have to be in the directory of your alias file or in a sub directory off from it (which is what I did for the core aliases), so if you want google icon. Just create a icons directory inside the myaliases.alias directory and copy the google icon from the core alias icons directory. :)
Even More Information Tip:
To find icons, look in the core alias icon directory first and copy it to your alias directory; if you don't find what you are looking for, you'll have to find an icon somewhere or make one yourself.
A good trick to finding icons for a web site is by going to the site url + favicon.ico (Ex. http://www.example.com/favicon.ico or http://this.website.com/favicon.ico). If it doesn't find it then you will have to dig deeper by visiting the site then viewing the source code and see if the favicon is specified in it and piece the url together. :)

Nod5:
I just tried creating some alias files with icons for the sites using Html View Mode listed in this thread. But when testing I can't get the icons to display.
example:
--- ---<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Legacy" ?>
<!-- This file defines aliases for use by the Find and Run Robot program (https://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/findrun/index.html). -->
<FarrAliasFile>
<FileFormatVersion>1</FileFormatVersion>
<AliasSetDescription>aliases using Html View Mode to display web content</AliasSetDescription>
<AliasEntry>
<AliasText>time</AliasText>
<Score>1000</Score>
<Regex>^time$</Regex>
<Results>
<Result>Internal Surf to exacttimenow | htmlviewurl http://exacttimenow.com/ /ICON=icons\exacttimenow.ico</Result>
</Results>
</AliasEntry>
</FarrAliasFile>
directory structure:
FindAndRunRobot\AliasGroups\MyCustom\HtmlViewMode\exacttimenow.alias
FindAndRunRobot\AliasGroups\MyCustom\HtmlViewMode\icons\exacttimenow.ico
When running the alias it looks like this:
edit: I just noticed that I have the same problem when doing a regular igo ____ . I don't pay much attention to the icons so I haven't thought about that before.
edit2: tried a clean reinstall of FARR. Didn't help.
BTW mouse, on second launch after reinstall FARR displays this traytip. The blue link is mistakenly placed behind the text, right?

*bump*
My 2nd post and my 1st problem. I don't get these Alias' icons working too.
It's not really a problem, but it would be a nice eye candy.

Nobody any idea?
