Topic: Tips & Tricks / Adding a Custom Backpack Icon to Your iPhone Home Screen

It’s not the most elegant solution, but it will do for now…

(Note: If your iPhone typing skills are anything like mine, steps 1 and 2 may be easier to do on your computer.)

1. Go to your Backpack Home Page.

2. Add a divider anywhere on the page. When you’re prompted for a name for the divider, enter the following:


<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="http://www.tinypineapple.com/backpack/images/apple-touch-icon.png" />

3. Go to your Backpack Home Page on your iPhone.

4. Tap the plus (+) button at the bottom of the iPhone screen and choose “Add to Home Screen”.

5. Name the new Web Clip “Backpack”. (The generic icon on the left will be replaced by the new icon after a few seconds delay.)

6. Tap “Add” in the upper right-hand corner and your new custom Backpack icon should appear on your Home Screen.

When you’re done you can remove the divider you added in Step 1. The icon will stick around until you delete the Web Clip from the Home Screen.
