Apple Touch Icons
The recent changes to the iPod Touch and iPhone operating system (”Apple Touch”) allow for users to create custom icons on their (aka “Web Clips”) on the Apple Touch Home Screen.
While the
documentation in the Apple Developer Connection was helpful, we found that the
recommended size of 57×57 pixels does not allow for the best looking icons. In fact, Apple does not even follow this recommendation for their own icon:

After some research (
here and
here) and experimenting, we discovered the following settings provide the best results:
129 x 129 at 163dpi
The new Boathouse icons are now part of all of our sites:
